Just installed XP on it's own drive (master, onboard IDE2) and already had Win2k on another (master, IDE1 on Promise Ultra66 card). Now I don't have 2k as an option at bootup, it doesn't even give me a choice....goes straight into XP. What do I need to do to be able to choose? Edit boot.ini? Here's the boot.ini file:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[boot loader]
timeout=1
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows Whistler Personal" /fastdetect
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What EXACTLY should I add to it to make 2k an option? I know I need to change the timeout.

Thanks in advance everyone

AFAIK you will need to add this in the [operating systems] section of the boot.ini

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(x)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect

where x is whatever partition you have 2K on. This is assuming you have 2K Professional

And yeah, change the timeout

What do the numbers after "multi", "disk" and "rdisk" mean? I've got 2k on a seperate drive from XP. Do I need to give it a different drive # for 2k? Thanks for the replies jbworrill and pimp.
