re: Can't get Windows XP to start Tuesday, June 15, 2004 at 3:41 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by george_d (1 messages posted) A WINDOWS-ONLY SOLUTION I had the same problem, and solved it thanks to this thread. I triple-boot Win98, W2k & XP. (No Linux). Win98 is on the C-drive fat32 partition, W2k & XP are on other NTFS partitions. I use the simple Windows boot menu to select OS (no Bootmagic). After using Drive Image 2002 to restore an image of the C drive partition (to fix a problem which had crept into my Win98 setup), I got the 'autock program not found' and automatic shut down whenever I tried booting to XP. From this thread I realised the problem was that the XP partition had been 'hidden' by Drive Image. My solution was to boot from a set of Partition Magic floppies and then use PM to unhide both the NTFS boot partitions - W2k & XP.
