After seeing your response, I wondered if Windows2000 had installed anything additional concerning the boot sequence and began to research this possibility. I believe now that the issue is with "boot.ini" which currently looks as follows: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server" /fastdetect multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server" /fastdetect C:\="Microsoft Windows" I believe that the two "multi" entries under [operating systems] are the two copies (I know, two...I goofed) of 2000 Server that I installed. I'm assuming that removing these entries will resolve the issue? Or does "boot.ini" need to go altogether?
