autochk not found - skipping autochk
Hi, hope someone can help with this.
Originally had the problem outlined in this thread http://www.short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24057 (windows\system32\config\system missing). Tried the suggestion of 'FIXMBR' but thats led to a new problem.
Now Get as far as the Windows XP (Home) splash screen then the message -
'autochk not found - skipping autochk' - then enters an endless loop.
Have tried CHKDSK /R but same message.
Hope someone can help - thanks in advance

http://www.short-media.com/review.php?r=313 (fix xp in 8 comands)
Got as far as entering identifier and load option, got this message -
'Error: Failed to add the selected boot entry from the boot list'
Tried again, got the message -
'The system cannot find the file or directory specified'
at the step 'attrib -h-r-s boot.ini' (assume because I deleted boot.ini the previous try).
Now when I boot up get the message -
Invalid boot.ini file
Booting from c:\windows\
How do I fix this? Please help before I try anything else...
Really grateful for any advice you can offer
The partition was hidden, fixed it with PTedit, still got the 'Invalid boot.ini file' message though, but at least I can get to my files now
