We can test the theory by disconnecting your converter and plugging it in directly to the cd rom drive. If you are able to get the cd to boot then it is your converter.
There may be a hardware conflict or the converter itself does not have the ability to run at boot level. I think they align that way even if you have a mechanical drive installed since it prepares the OS for the future and is also actually really good for mechanical drives as well, but has never been stressed as important except in server-type circles. Believe me, you can tell a 64 alignment vs. LBA settings can be a culprit here as wll. I have had huge issues trying to get an SSD to align at 64, , or offests.
I have heard some success stories also with completely cold CMOS clears, removing any boot device, and turning off all onboard controllers except what you need for a hard drive and optical install drive when doing your initial install. That did not help me, however. I don't know how setting a partition as active or not applies in dual-boot scenarios. Also, Vista and Win7 align with Diskpart, and Diskpart rounds its offsets. I don't think there is any reason you can't align Win7 or Vista with Diskpar, it's just a little less polished than Diskpart.
If you prep your drive, it's probably best to align them in IDE compatible mode, make sure they are set active, etc. That's just a thought and FWIW. Unfortunately, I've not heard of any reliable way to "nudge" XP from, say, 63 to 64 offsets. Some claim Acronis will if you use a 2-part move or special type of copy. I have no idea how that would fold into your situation with multiple partitions. Some have also tried taking away all the space up to exactly the number needed for a 64 offset in XP, but others claim that may be specious.
I think you can check with msinfo. There is a simple formula that you divide the block or whatever by, and if you get 64, ,, or such you are fine. Hope that helps. Wait 5aq1b said:. All i get is a blank screen with a flashing curosr however to let you all know, i have no hardware issues whatsoever. I used the MAP command to identify which drive i want to run the fixboot command on and it's the K drive.
Glad to hear you got the CD bootable! That's a good first step. Now your question currently is How do i run the fixboot command on the XP install?

I am able to get to BIOS and the boot menu but that is it. I've Googled around a bit and have not had any success in finding a resolution. Things I've tried 1.
