Hello,

I have XP SP3 32bit as my first partition.
I installed Windows 2008 32bit for testing Hyper-V but found out that it is only available in 64bit.
So i downloaded 64bit & then i deleted the partition itself from XP. after i created the DVD & booted the system after Coping files it says Winload error "Missing or Currupt file" \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe
So i reinstalled 32bit win2k8 without this error on the same partition i deleted. & then i again tried to install 64 win2k8 but same problem appeared.

I also tried copying the boot folder from 32bit win2k8 partition into my Xp but it doesn't work either.

Please can anyone help on this matter. I really need to do research on Hyper-V for my project.

Thank You in advance.

Aasim

hello,
from where you got the Windows 2008? if its not an original cd, it might have been corrupted while copying it. so either buy a genuine Windows or download it from a trusted website!!

Yes I also think the dvd is faulty. later i realized that instead of wasting my time trying to installed it on base machine i should have first tired to install on virtual PC.

Thanx
One more question is : can i Play games on Hyper-V with installed XP/vista.
My idea is to installed Win2008 on base machine & install 2/3 Xp/vista on hyper-v. One to play games one to use for downloading & so on

I would like to know if i create a system in Hyper-V can i play games like Far Cry 2, NFS UC etc.
