Windows partition not anymore bootable

I am in a very difficult situation.
I had a Mac pro with Tiger, installed Bootcamp Beta, then Windows XP, then Parallels. My PC antivirus f***ed the Tiger installation, I went to reinstall and disk was scratched. So I bought leopard and went for a fresh install. After that Parallels was not working but reboot in Windows was still fine. But I did an upgrade to Leopard recently and so Windows partition disappeared from my boot options. :mad: I started fiddling with Bootcamp, WinClone, Disk Utility, etc... with no serious results. My best try was totally erasing the disk (all partitions), create a new install from BootCamp and install a new Windows XP from my XP disk. But I get a message saying hal.dll not found. Forums relate this to a boot problem and suggest to manually correct boot order in boot.ini. Did so but got no result. I finally copied back from the image my old Windows installation except the boot.ini file. Still nothing.... So .. this is the situation I have now.... :confused: Disk in bay 1 (according to disk utility) has 2 partitions of which the 1st is now windows (my old installation). XP installation actually sees as a 1st partition a 200Mb partition taht is invisible to disk utility. I think Bootcamp is here in some way. Holding down alt/opt during boot now shows Windows as well as Mac but if I choose Windows I get a "Non system disk" message. I also uninstalled Parallels manually. :confused: Now what ? Somebody help me please... How can I get my old Windows partition to boot again ?!
 
I think it might very well be your boot.ini file. You need to make sure it is pointing to not just the proper partition on the first drive, but the first drive itself. Here is the MS article.

The Windows setup utility will see all the partitions and HDDs on your machine, but the Boot Camp one should show up as "C:" and the rest as "unformatted" or some such.

Unless there is data on your Windows partition you need to recover, it might be easiest to just use Boot Camp Assistant to remove and then recreate your Boot Camp partition and re-install Windows fresh.
 
Doesn't work

I changed boot.ini before pointing partition (2). Partition 1 has some EFI thing (I think is connected to bootcamp), it is about 200Mbs. So it should be 2. But it doeasn't work. This is what I wrote in my boot.ini file

[boot loader]
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional"

Winclone says almost the same thing

But as I said.. even doing a full new installation (delete partition) creates problems because windows doesn't find hal.dll (from a new clean install). This I found on some forum is connected with boot.ini. I think something stays in that partition of 200 mbytes from the old Bootcamp and the new doesn't delete it.

I changed boot.ini before pointing partition (2). Partition 1 has some EFI thing (I think is connected to bootcamp), it is about 200Mbs. So it should be 2. But it doeasn't work. This is what I wrote in my boot.ini file

Code:

But as I said.. even doing a full new installation (delete partition) creates problems because windows doesn't find hal.dll (from a new clean install). This I found on some forum is connected with boot.ini. I think something stays in that partition of 200 mbytes from the old Bootcamp and the new doesn't delete it.

Click to expand...

I think you've way overcomplicated the process. First, the "EFI thing" is what the Mac uses instead of BIOS, and rewriting the boot.ini file should never be necessary.

Second, print, read, and follow the installation instructions offered up at the first page of the Boot Camp Assistant.

Third, go into Boot Camp Assistant, restore to a single volume, then recreate the boot Camp partition.

Fourth, reinstall Windows precsely in the manner described in the instructions you printed.

Fifth, the whole boot.ini & boot loader dumps aren't necessary, but if you insist, please use the
Code: 
 tag. to make it more manageable.
 
Ok

I did everything from scratch. It works.. now I'll reinstall all my software.. I'll not risk to use the WinClone image of my PC partition to save time.
Thanks
