I dont have disks to burn the image, and heard that you can just extract the image (iso) to a blank partition and boot from them. I did that and switched that partition to the active partition. When the computer started up I got the "NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl Alt Del to restart" screen. How can i make this work?
Is it possible to boot from Windows 2000 installation files that are on a partition of my hard drive?microsoft vista
It seems possible, but I don't think you can boot the ISO contents on the dame partition you plan to install on, being that the first half of install will format the partition removing the files required for the second half of the installation, but if you are just putting the ISO contents on an unused partition to install on a different partition, it should work fine, as far as I know
as for the "NTLDR is missing" part, NTLDR stands for New Technology Loader, which is the bootloader required for it to launch, it could be that the bootloader from the ISO is meant to be used when being read from a CD or DVD, so you may need to look for a bootloader meant to launch from the hard drive, also check to see of it's not corrupted
Hope that helps
