I've got more or less the same prob. I have installed win2k on one HD and xp on the
other. I set the jumpers at the back of the HD as 'cable defined' since i have one
IDE. HOwever, i dont have a boot.ini file (tho i'm told i should have had one) and
win2k was installed previous to xp. At some point i was also told that in the BIOS
i should set the Primary master and slave as 'user type defined' or something similar
and i did it, but again i cannot get the starting screen which allows me to choose
between the two OS. Im forced every time to change the boot sequence thru BIOS. Right
clicking on XP's 'My computer' and setting the 'start up and recovery' option also
shows that there is only one OS instaled. In fact, each HD shows its own OS. What
can i do?
Im not the best when it comes to computers, so if u can give me a hand here, i may
not be able to understand the terminology, so plz if u can, try to explain things
a little more than usual :) Thank u!!!
