Recently went to the Microsoft site to look for Service Pack 3 & 4,
which I could not download. Came across a notification that Microsoft
recommends upgrading the virtual
machine - a java update. Took the download. Only after installing did I
notice a caveat
that Service Pack 3 for NT should be installed first. Rebooted. The
mouse went all over
the screen. Had to shut down. Upon restarting, now repeatedly received
the message:
NTLDR fatal error #1: cannot read boot.ini
Have tried to repair my NT installation, reinstall NT, switch around my
two hard drives
from slave to master after changing the jumper, to no avail. Any
installation seems to proceed fine, but goes nowhere.
I have no clue what to do now.
Any and all ideas would be greatly appreciated.
