dual boot problem

I have installed windows vista home premium and windows server 2003 R2 in
the same computer.

I configured with bcdedit to dual boot as is described in
//support.microsoft.com/kb/919529

I don't have problem to boot windows vista, but when I try to boot windows
server 2003 I got an error

"file : \ntldr
status : 0xc00000f
info : the selected entry could not be loaded because the aplication is
missing or corrupt."

It seems that the mapping of partition is different in Windows vista and
Windows server 2003.

I have a hard drive with 3 partitions and the mappings in windows vista
are

local disk (c:)
recovery (d:)
wsvr (j:) ====> windows server 2003 is installed here
dvd rw drive (e:)
compact flash (f:)
combo socket (g:)
sd/mmc (h:)
memory stick (i:)

The entry in the bdc loader for windows 2003 is

identifier {ntldr}
device partition=j:
path \ntldr



TIA

I am not sure why you want to dual boot Server since the whole idea of a
server is "always on" but have you considered running it in VPC instead?

If partition C: (containing Vista) was the active partition when you
installed Windows 2003, the boot files for Windows 2003 would
have been put in partition C:. You can make the Bcdedit partition
value "C:" and adjust the boot.ini file in C: to point to partition(3)
instead of partition(1), or you can transfer the boot files (ntldr, boot.ini,
and ntdetect.com) to J: and leave the Bcdedit partition value as "J:".

I solved it changing the partition to c: as Timothy sugested.

I'm doing this just to practice ws 2003 to get some certificates and not for
a production environment.

Thank you all guys.

One last point, Fanor: If you put Win2003's boot files in
partition J:, even if the Vista partition gets corrupted and won't
boot Win2003, by using the "diskpart" command from the Repair
facility in the installation CD of either OS, you can set partition
J: "active", and subsequent startups will boot Win2003 from
partition J:.
