Bootcfg Command Syntax


bootcfg /list

/list = This option will list every entry in the boot list in the boot.ini file.

bootcfg /scan

/scan = Using this option will instruct bootcfg to scan all drives for installations of Windows and then display the results.

bootcfg /rebuild

/rebuild = This option will step you through the process of rebuilding the boot.ini file.

When you say "Setup Screen" are you refering to the Windows installation screen listing any Previous Windows installations? If no previous Windows installation is listed, are the drive capacities listed? Write down exactly how Windows setup lists drive 0 an 1, and include that in your next post.
Thanks for the help! Ran fixboot /device/harddisk0 and received "FIXBOOT cannot find the system drive, or the drive specified is not valid". Ran bootcfg /list on displayed C prompt and changed to D prompt with no files found. Ran bootcfg /scan and received error message: Failed to successfully scan disks for Windows installations. This error may be caused by a corrupt file system, which would prevent Bootcfg from successfully scanning. Use chkdsk to detect any disk errors.

Concerning the question about the display screen, if I go to the Boot Device Menu and select Hard Drive Diagnostics, it displays a Drive 0: ST3160023AS - Pass and Drive 1: No device and Drive 2: ST3250620AS - Pass and Drive 3: No device and Drives 4-5 CD R/RW and DVD+/-RW
