I have a PC with dual boot WNT4.0 and W95. Something happend after I changed the size of the NT40 swap files and it now crashes when I try to boot. I can see the swap files from withing W95, but I don't know how to fix them. If the size of these files is what is making my PC crash, how can I fix them so that I can, once again, boot WNT 40. Most of my work is stored in NTFS volumes that W95 can't see. I think the problem may be in that these files were made too small. I wish I hadn't touched that stuff. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Try to boot NT40 using the Last Known Good Boot, If successful then
you can change the swap file size.
Gook Luck.

| 5618.2 | try deleting it | CERN::HOBBS | Congrats to the Ignoble Peace Prize winner! (http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/ig_nobel) | Tue Jan 28 1997 21:59 | 21 |
Have you tried deleting the page file (this is the file named PAGEFILE.SYS, not some UNIX swap partition, right?) I delete PAGEFILE.SYS all the time on my laptop (when I'm booted Windows 95 and want the extra disk space). NT simply recreates it the next time NT boots. If possible, you could also disable the Win95 disk and boot NT - you'll get a message about no valid swap files and be asked to use the perf manager to correct it. (By disable, do something like shutdown and pull the connector from the W95 disk, then reboot) -cw ps: I'd also try running a repair pass and see if any system files are corrupted - somehow I doubt that the pagefile itself is the problem here. pps: If you've installed SP1 you'll get a couple "not right file" messages, if SP2 then lots. You can say repair for all of them, and then reapply SP2 after getting the machine running again. | |||||

re -1; I think you are right. There's got to be something other than just the swap files corrupted. The error I get when it crash dumps is.. 0x00000067 CONFIG_INITIALIZATION_FAILED ...core dump of address lines...etc.. I never installed any of the server packs. Could that have anything to do with it? Thanks /MZ | |||||
