PLEASE HELP . FIXMBR: it will lead to loss of data on a dual boot scenario? [fixmbr] [dual boot]

Q: I installed W2K first . then installed WinME,
I modified the Boot.ini WinME
When I also try to boot into WinME it gives me an error W2K (boot.ini is correct)

Should I boot from the CD and use W2K FIXMBR to fix this?

If, I risk losing data?

ANY help would be appreciated

Re:Post the contents of your boot.ini.

The entry for booting Windows Millennium is not an ARC path.

Your boot.ini should look similar to the following:

[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
C:\ = "Microsoft Windows"

Note the last line is how WinME is loaded.

Re:Run FIXMBR. It should fix your problem. You won't lose any data.

Next time, please read the FAQ: How do I install Win9x/ME AFTER Win2K? (http://www.{$MySite}/guides/viewfaq.html?i=54)
