XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
(OP)
I have a hombre on the network that decided to dual boot his "toy machine" on his break. Well now he is receiving a nice error message that: xmnt2002 not found skipping autocheck. I know that the problem is related to him using Partition Magic 8.0 to resize his NTFS/2000 Pro drive to make room for his 98 partition. A BIG NO-NO! I need to know how to remove the error message. If I boot to 98 it does not appear, boot to 2000 and there it is.

RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
check to make sure your Win2K partition is the active partition. You can do this with partition magic as well. fdisk /mbr or fixmbr from 2K's recovery console
depending on how your partitions were setup initially.

RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
does the System account have full control of the XP drive? If not, add it. ME probably can't see the NTFS partition. It's not worth spending too much time on if it all still works, but Bootmagic should fix it.

RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
If memory serves me right, PM adds xmnt??? to this key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute
It's a REG_MULTI_SZ (i.e) Binary, so open in REGEDT32.
It should contain Autocheck Autochk *
BE VERY CAREFULL EDITING IT !!!!!
Ian
RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
Mine looks like this:
autocheck xmnt2002 /bat="H:\WINDOWS\TEMP\PQ_BATCH.PQB" /win="H:\WINDOWS" /dbg="H:\WINDOWS\TEMP\PQ_DEBUG.TXT" /ver=262144 /prd="PartitionMagic"
autocheck autochk *
I also have this problem, and i have used Partition Magic 8.
RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
Now you see why you get the error message about xmnt2???.
The following reg file will restore it. (i.e remove the first two lines that you see)
Ian
--------------- Cut Here -------------------------

I'm not sure that i did exactly they it was supposed to be done so please tell me if I should change something.
Thanks for you're help mapleleaf!
RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
Now that line in the registry should read:
autocheck autochk *
PM uses it to load their reorg utility at next bootup when you specify your Boot or System drive as a target.

I'm a long time Partition Magic user (Since OS/2 !!). I've see that message more than once.
Think of the possibilities, now that you know that you can run things from ... !!!!!
One other thing. Take a look at StartUpList. It gives you a listing of all the places that you can start things from, if you run it with the /complete switch.

RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
Even though I'm running XP Pro, I had that blasted xmnt200 message.
Thanks for your tip. I ran regedit and modified the line on Boot Execute to: autocheck autochk *
The message no longer appears.
RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
And like many others I did use PartitionMagic to add a partition. The original installation on my laptop was just XP. I used PM to make another partition for Linux. Linux will now boot but XP hangs.
Does anyone know of a way to fix this? Hoe do I get my system to stop the autochk and boot. I'd like to try the reg hack mentioned, but unless I can boot to XP there is no reghacking to be done!!
Thanks .....
RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
Can you see the XP partition from Linux. If so, look for the XMNT2002.exe and rename it, along with any PQ_*.* files that are in %systemroot%\temp

RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
Ian,
Well, good suggestion. I've been trying for a while to mount my XP partition in Linux, but keep getting the error "fs type ntfs not supported by kernel". I'm running RedHat 8.0.
Any suggestions??
Thanks ....
RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
Try this Linux HowTo:-
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/redhat.html
I know very little about Linux, but let me ask this question. Where did you put LILO ??. I hope you put it in the Linux ROOT Partition as per this FAQ
When you come to the Lilo-Section, specify your Linux-root-partition as your boot device because the Master Boot Record (MBR) of your harddisk is owned by Windows NT. This means that the root-entry and the boot-entry in your /etc/lilo.conf have the same value. If you have a IDE-harddisk and your Linux-partition is the second partition, your boot-entry in /etc/lilo.conf looks like:
boot=/dev/hda2
If you have two disks and your Linux resides on the first partition of your second disk, your boot-entry in /etc/lilo.conf looks like:
boot=/dev/hdb1
Run lilo with a kernel that matches your system. Check the kernel by booting from diskette first if you are not sure.
If you cannot boot Windows NT now, you have a problem. I hope you have created a repair-disk recently.

Find and Empty area on your desktop. Righ-click and choose "new" and then "text document". It will create an icon on your desktop with "new..." highlighted. Hit backspace and type PM.REG. Hit Enter and choose OK. Now highlight ALL the text below BETWEEN the Cut Here lines. Right-click and choose copy. Go to the Desktop. Right-click on the PM.REG icon and choose Edit. Paste the text. Go to the Top Right corner and click close. Double-click on the icon and answer Yes. Reboot. Delete the PM.REG icon.

RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
Somewhere in the directories under your PM installation will be a boot or rescue disk directory. It will make you a two disk bootable copy of PM. You boot from Disk1 and then insert Disk2 and PM will run.
This gets around the problem of the disk you are working on being locked. Try it and you will find it's a lot faster than the GUI.

RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
I used partition magic and I get the same XMNT2002 message ( I use XP professional). I tried some of the stuff you suggested - Opened a new text document as pm.reg, pasted the following stuff
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager]
"BootExecute"=hex(7):61,75,74,6f,63,68,65,63,6b,20,61,75,74,6f,63,68,6b,20,2a,\
00,00
and saved it. The icon did not change ( remained as txt file essentially ) so I could not proceed. I tried running regedit to modify bootexecute. I tried to modify it directly by right clicking on modify and just leaving the autocheck autochk* but when I check the hex values, there is a 00 ( full stop ) between each letter so I changed it back to what it was originally :
autocheck
xmnt2002 /bat="C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\PQ_BATCH.PQB" /win="C:\WINDOWS" /dbg="C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\PQ_DEBUG.TXT" /ver=262144 /prd="PartitionMagic"
autocheck autochk *
I have also noticed that the disk defragmenter does not work ever since I got this problem.
I know this is a dangerous ground to tread on so can you please tell me exactly how to modify it ?
please help !

RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
Sorry for the delay, my power and internet was out !!
As long as you can right-click on the icon and select merge it should work, or you could use REGEDT32 and do it by hand
Ian
Everyday the Computer Gods pick one person to be "it". Maybe, today is your day !!
RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
I don't get the merge option when I right click on the icon - it just stays a text document :(. I will try editing from REGEDT32 - just one question though it may sound silly - in the edit-multi string window that pops up should I cut out the first two lines:
autocheck
xmnt2002 /bat="C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\PQ_BATCH.PQB" /win="C:\WINDOWS" /dbg="C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\PQ_DEBUG.TXT" /ver=262144 /prd="PartitionMagic"
and leave just the autocheck autochk* line in the value data field ??
thing is that if I do that and check the hex values it goes somethings liek this 61,00,75,00,74,00,6f,00,63,00,68,00,65,00,63,00,6b,00,20 e.t.c I am not sure if 00 is the ASCII charachter for space - should it be there in the first place ?
And do you think the defragment not working is due to this problem ?
thanks

RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
ps. I am using XP professional

RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
Just leave the 'autocheck autochk *' and remove the rest.
It should not affect Defrag, since that is driven from:-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\DefragPath]
@=hex(2):25,73,79,73,74,65,6d,72,6f,6f,74,25,5c,73,79,73,74,65,6d,33,32,5c,64,\
66,72,67,2e,6d,73,63,20,25,63,3a,00
That translates to %systemroot%\system32\dfrg.msc %c:

RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
I am also using XP Pro and PM 8.0 and have the same problems as gpatel26 ie: could not merge icon, etc. When I try to edit the multi-string manually it changes the value data but when I reboot, the error message is still there. When I go back to Regedt32 the data is back to the original value (xmnt2002 /bat="C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\PQ_BATCH.PQB" /win="C:\WINDOWS" /dbg="C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\PQ_DEBUG.TXT" /ver=262144 /prd="PartitionMagic"
autocheck autochk *). I cant get the modification to stick. Any help would be great.
RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
Let's run through making a reg file. Find an Empty area on your desktop. Righ-click and choose "new" and then "text document". It will create an icon on your desktop with "new..." highlighted. Hit backspace and type PM.REG
The key here is the .REG extention. Hit Enter and choose OK.
Now highlight ALL the text below BETWEEN the Cut Here lines. Right-click and choose copy. Go to the Desktop. Right-click on the PM.REG icon and choose Edit. Paste the text. Go to the Top Right corner and click close. Double-click on the icon and answer Yes. Reboot. Delete the PM.REG icon.

I used Partition Magic 8 to do this by the way...
RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
i see that you've concluded editing the registry in the said fashion will solve the problem.
but my problem is a little different. i've encountered the one you speak of before and just ignored it. but now i have a more sever version of it. the error message windows xp gives when i boot up is longer than it was before and asks me to press any key to continue. but of course pressing any key does not instigate any continuing. so i can't get into xp, not even in safe mode or anything.
so i'm in 2k at the moment and wondering what to do.
is there a way to edit my xp registry from 2k? or does anyone have any other fixes?
RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
Had exactly same issue with XP Pro and Redhat 9 (all went a bit Pete Tong). To the point where i could not get XP to boot. Had to use XP recovery console and delete Linux partitions, reformat these to NTFS, install a second copy of XP on this partition and then install partition magic on this second copy of XP. You can then use partiton magic to re-enable the original XP partition. Doing this cleared the Autocheck/XMNT2002 errors and I saved all my XP data. A bit long winded but hey it worked.

RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
I have another variant of the XMNT2002.exe problem:
I use XP & PM8. I tried to re-assign new Drive Letters to my partitions using PM. Unfortunately, something went wrong.
XP freezes at boot-up, saying "XMNT2002.exe: PM is unable to read the batch file" -- nothing goes except power off.
I ran the the DOS prompt from a Windows Setup CD to check out the system. What's kinda funny is that my boot partition is invisible! All other partitions are visible.
My guess is that for some reason, my boot partition is not assigned a drive letter. Thus, DOS cant "see" it. This might also be the reason why PM cant find its batch file, and hangs. Is this a possible explanation?
How can I manually assign the drive letter C to my boot partition? Is there any way to do this from a DOS prompt, or from a Knoppix (CD-based Linux system) environment maybe?
I dont have rescue disks made because my PC dont have a floppy.
RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
I had the same problem on a XP Pro box. My copy of Partition Magic 8 was on a D drive. The C drive was formatted and the OS was upgraded to XP since the original install of PM. This all started when I tried to resize the D and move it to the right to get room to resize my C drive.
This sequence seemed to repair it
1) I first told PM8 to resize the D back to the original size
2) Reinstalled PM8
3) Resized the D
4) Moved D
5) Resized C
Each of the steps required a reboot to complete.
Hope this helps

RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
For those of you using Linux - it is very VERY difficult to mount a NTFS drive, and even if you do mount it editing it is very dangerous. You might end up reformatting the other partition.
I encountered the same problem as Vedace - there were no options from linux because NTFS is not really editable safely.
What I did was I overwrote one of my partitions with Windows 2000, then went in and unhid my first NTFS partition, then I modified the registry, and booted.

RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
@Mapleleaf, I think your registry method is like casting out the demons by the ruler of the demons, and will result into nothing.
Remember, people want to do CHANGES with their systems.
And you **must** get this application to *do* changes in Win2K.
(Trust me.)
Even though this might lead to a ban on this forum, I'll risk this and post it for DOWNLOAD. This might help hundreds of people.
This problem is just a barrier that PQ has built in for trial users. On the full version, xmnt2002 does exist. On the trial, it's temporarily extracted (i. e. into the TEMP folder) but *instantly* deleted. You thus must be clever and isolate the file before it gets deleted.
Instructions:
- Either get some PIRATED version from the net or try to find it on the original CD
- Look into the folder Setup
- Open PMagic.cab
- Extract XMNT2002.exe - voilĂ !
OR:
get it here!

My version of the XMNT2002.exe problem:
I installed Mandrake Linux next to Windows XP Pro that was originally on the system.
I made the Linux partitions with PM 8.0 under Windows XP.
Now I have the same well known blue screen.
I tried to rename the file XMNT2002.exe but I don't have access to it. I tried to 'chmod' it when I logged in as root, but that won't work. Only the creator of the file (administrator under Windows XP) can change these permissions :-(.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
You would need access to a working Windows machine with a CD burner. The entire process should take less than 20 minutes.
In the alternative: http://www.winternals.com/products/repairandrecove...
This still would require a working Windows system.
. Have you checked your version of PM to see if there is a revert tool?
. if you have more than one partition, consider using a parallel installation of XP on the second partition. You can then load the registry hive from the first partition through regedit and make changes.
RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
It worked to make the Ultimate Boot CD, but when I run it, it shows me the following message:"No copy of Windows found". So I can't access the registry. There are some other registry applications on the CD, but they run some kind of 'stand alone registry'. The variable BootEXEC is empty, so I can't replace anything in there...
I couldn't make a recovery disk for PM because all this is running on my laptop which doesn't have a floppy drive.
I hope somebody can help me out here, just need a way to access my Windows XP registry...

and can access the Linux partition but not the Windows.
Find the grub.conf in /etc. The Windows partition may look like this depending on what you named your partition and which hardrive you are using:
title XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
make it
Change it to:
title XP
unhide (hd0,0)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
Save it and now you will be able to access Windows. If this worked for you as it has done for me please tell me so.

RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
This did indeed help. I didn't have a grub.conf file, the settings were in the menu.lst file for grub. I changed
XP
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
to
XP
unhide (hd0,0)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
Thanks for this. I thought I'd never get back into Winblows.
RE: XMNT2002 error message, whats up?
After the restart PM did it work and at the end arrived to the message: xmnt2002.exe "Partition mamgic is unable to read the batch file. Verify that the system32 is not compressed or corrupt." If I click OK I arrive to the login window of XP, but that is all, no miore options, no way to login to the system at all.
I used ERD Commander to get into the system - it seems to be fine, but there is no way to switch back to letter E.
So I am wondering if the registry solution will work?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager]
"BootExecute"=hex(7):61,75,74,6f,63,68,65,63,6b,20,61,75,74,6f,63,68,6b,20,2a,\
