re: Edit boot.ini in Windows 2000 Server Friday, February 6, 2004 at 4:07 am Posted by Curt R (1144 messages posted) You don't need to edit the boot.ini to change the default OS in your dual boot. In 2000, open the System Propterties (either from control panel or right click on My Computer and select Properties) then choose the "Advanced" tab and once there, click on "Startup and Recovery". You can choose which OS is the default in there. On Thursday, February 5, 2004 at 11:02 pm, Sumith Joy wrote: >I have Windows Me and Windows 2000 Server on my Computer.
