- TITLE :Cannot Boot Windows NT After Running OS/2
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:BUGLIST3.10
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- You may not be able to boot Windows NT from an HPFS partition after
- running OS/2.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- OS/2 clears the flags field for the root directory Fnode, causing
- Windows NT to be more strict about allocation structures and mark the
- root directory as corrupt. This prevents your machine from booting
- from the HPFS partition.
-
- WORKAROUND
- ==========
-
- To work around this problem, boot from the NTFS or FAT partition.
- After you boot Windows NT, CHKDSK can correct the root directory Fnode
- flags.
