re: Dual Boot anyone ? Tuesday, October 18, 2005 at 9:00 pm Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Wendy Krieger (1 messages posted) The legacy menu and the /USENEWLOADER switch affects only the NT based systems, ie NT, 2K, XP, 2K3. Both the new and legacy menus will boot WIN9x and MS-DOS (and Linux). Using the /USENEWLOADER puts the system into some kind of debug mode, using some DLL files that were added at XP. The loader looks for %systemroot%\system32\winload.exe to do this. Windows NT and 2K do not support this switch, and thus must be booted from the legacy menu. Windows LH must be booted from here. Anything that is loaded by a boot-sector file, such as MS-DOS, Win9x, etc, should not use the /usenewloader switch, since it is not to winload.exe to initialise these systems. Usually this is IO.SYS.
