After installing a new Seagate 250GB SATA drive and ghosting/copying the contents of the old 160GB IDE drive to it, I get a select which windows installation to boot to at startup. It give the two options as Windows (default) and Windows (default). The old drive has since been reformatted and is being used for data storage.
Here is what my boot.ini contains:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\window s
[operating systems]
This is the sample boot.ini that they show in the Windows KB for XP Pro:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional"
/fastdetect
Mine is missing the entry after [operating systems]. Should I add that last part?
