I have Win98 and Win2000 on my system on C and D drive respectively and the default was to load win2000, but I wanted to change that to win98, and I messed with the boot.ini file and now its all f*cked up, this is what the boot loader presents:

Windows 2000 Professional
Windows 98
Windows 98 (default) <---Highlighted

Now the problem is that it tries to load up on the highlighted item and it just gives me an error when booting, I have to manually select win98 or win2k now everytime, here is my boot.ini file if anybody can help me:

<boot.ini>

[boot loader]
timeout=30
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT=&quot;Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional&quot; /fastdetect
C:\=&quot;Microsoft Windows 98&quot;

</boot.ini>

CAN ANYONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're joking me if people don't know this... Im not ognna tell you how, but Im gonna help you help yourself.

See the top &quot;multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT&quot;? That's what you're booting off of by default. See the &quot;multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT&quot; on the bottom? And then C:\=&quot;blah&quot; below that? These are the two OPTIONS.

Now, looking at the syntax at the bottom, gimmie a guess on how you're going to change the default.

This is my boot.ini file (the edited version, not the original one):

[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=C:\
[operating systems]
C:\ = &quot;Microsoft Windows ME&quot;
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT=&quot;Microsoft Windows 2000&quot; /fastdetect

When my PC starts, the first item in the menu is &quot;Microsoft Windows ME&quot; and it's highlighted. After the 10 seconds countdown, the PC boots by default into Windows ME. The second choice is &quot;Microsoft Windows 2000&quot; which I have to manually select in order to boot. Hope this helps.

Update
Comparing your boot.ini to mine I see that on yours the next line below &quot;timeout=30&quot; is missing &quot;default=...&quot;. Just add what's missing and you should be set.
