The text below tells me what I need, I think. When I open a bootwiz file with notepad I get symbols.



Hi Manfred,
i solved the problem on my system by editing the O:\BOOTWIZ\bootwiz.oss file (Letter "O" is the OSS home partition on my system).
In the original file changed the line for the "problem XP system" from

<id2222222222 boot_as_ms71="0" boot_as_os2="0" boot_cd_entry="0" boot_partition="3333333333" bootname="bootsect.sys" icon="icon_sys_win" language="german" lba="1" multi="multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS" name_template="Kopie von Windows XP" nthide="0" os_type="ntxp" uninstall_info="1" use_manual_disks_order="0" write_boot="0">
<partitions>
<id444444444 hidden="1" />
<id3333333333 active="1" hidden="1" />
</partitions>
</id2222222222>

to

<id2222222222 boot_as_ms71="0" boot_as_os2="0" boot_cd_entry="0" boot_partition="3333333333" bootname="bootsect.sys" icon="icon_sys_win" language="german" lba="1" multi="multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS" name_template="Kopie von Windows XP" nthide="0" os_type="ntxp" uninstall_info="1" use_manual_disks_order="0" write_boot="0">
<partitions>
<id444444444 hidden="1" />
<id3333333333 active="1" />
</partitions>
</id2222222222>

Try this (on your own risk) - maybe it will help
