Hi, I just bought a new computer with xp installed. I took my old hard drive and
put it in the tower also, and want to be a able to run my old win 2000. My old drive
is partioned. Here is what I have so far,
the xp root drive is c and there is a d partion as well. but the best I can tell
it is on partition 2. This is set as the master drive.
the other drive I installed shows up on the computer as G and H drives (partioned).
This is set as the slave drive.
I edited my boot.ini file as follows and the xp still works fine, but I get error
messages for the 2000 boot. There must be a value to change to get this to work,
I hope. If you have any ideas please help.
[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
