-
- I found the soulution to my problem and wonder why this problem hasn't
- been mentioned in the past.
-
- In the script file dos2nt.bat the in the dos2nt directory on the cd is
- the line
-
- copy .\ntldr c:\
-
- This is attempting to copy dos2nt\ntldr to c drive. On my cd dos2nt\ntldr does
- not exist but dos2nt\ntldr. does. So I copied it manually to c:\ and I am
- able to boot in Windows NT.
-
-
- New problems
-
- When Windows NT boots for the first time I get the following 3 messages
- displayed
-
- 1) NtOpenKey[\Registry\User\.Default\Environment] failed
- [Status == c0000034
-
- 2) NtOpenKey[\Registry\User\.Default\ProgramGroups] failed
- [Status == c0000034
-
- 2) NtOpenKey[\Registry\User\.Default\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\
- CurrentVersion\ProgramManager\Settings] failed
- [Status == c0000034
-
-
- When Windows NT boots from this point on the Program Groups are not
- found and I an booted into the Program Manager with no icons displayed.
-
-
- Any clues ??
