Can somebody please help me with this simple issue?
It?s about the location of my boot.ini / ntdetect / ntldr files on a dual boot XP/W2K Advanced Server system, which I set up 3 years ago to study W2K networking.
Disk mgt shows:
– Disk 0 : F drive = W2K Adv Server (marked ‘System’) and my boot files are in the root of F.
– Disk 1 : C drive = XP (marked ‘Boot’)
Boot.ini file content is :
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition” /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT=”Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server” /fastdetect
I want to delete W2K Adv Server from Disk 0. What must I do?
Just move the 3 startup files to the root of XP, deleting boot.ini?s reference to ?multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT=”Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server” /fastdetect??
I presume the references to Disk O and Disk 1 are ok as is, as the boot.ini will then guide startup directly to XP. Right?
I?m a bit of a novice, so forgive me if I?m saying something daft!!
Thanks folks,
Geoff
