So i tried UNETBOOTIN. I installed UNETBOOTIN and aftr that, it shows a entry while starting up windows....below "Microsoft Windows" is "Unetbootin" and it is "supposed" to boot into Unetbootin. But it dosent. Some problem with the NTLDR and BOOT.INI files. It dosent boot into UNETBOOTIN if windows is NOT in C:\. Windows boots normally though. Thanks. Hey rovr138,
