Windows Doesn't Boot If You Use Multi() Syntax In Boot.ini File

In Windows NT-based operating systems, which use Intel X86 hardware

, you can use MULTI() syntax that indicates to operating system that it should bank on computer BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) for loading system files. It means that operating system would use interrupt (INT) 13 BIOS calls for finding and loading NTOSKRNL.EXE and other boot files. In some situations, using this procedure might cause boot tile problems and make the hard drive inaccessible. At this point you can not use the stored files and thus encounter file loss problems. In order to get your files back, you need to use appropriate tools like Windows hard drive recovery is required.

The X86-based Windows computers don't start up if MULTI() syntax is used in Boot.ini file and first sector of your hard drive partition on which Windows is installed is 4 GB or larger. You might encounter any of the below errors in this case and come across data inaccessibility issues:

Boot record signature AA55 not found (25EB found) Windows NT could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware. Please check the Windows NT documentation about hardware disk

configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information.

Or

Windows NT could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: Windows NT RootSystem32Ntoskrnl.exe.

This behavior of Microsoft Windows operating systems renders all of the files on your hard drive inaccessible and cause critical file loss situations. In these cases, finding out the cause of this problem and performing Hard drive recovery becomes essential to sort out the issue.

Root of the problem

This problem generally caused by some miscalculations, which occurs during boot sequence where Microsoft Windows operating system is trying to compute starting location of partition on which your operating system is installed. The problem may also occur due to missing or damaged Ntoskrnl.exe file.

Resolution

To sort out this behavior, extract a new copy of the Ntoskrnl.exe file. You can avoid this problem by using SCSI() syntax in Boot.ini file because a different code path is created that doesn't include mathematical errors.

If any of the above methods does not work, go for Hard drive recovery software to methodically scan the affected Windows drive and extract all of the lost files from it. The Windows hard drive recovery applications are completely safe and easy to use.

Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is the best ever made and the most effective tool to extract lost Windows files. It supports recovery from FAT32, NTFS and NTFS5 file system partitions. The software is compatible with Microsoft Windows 7 (RC1), Vista, 2003, XP and 2000.
