I currently have 2 physical hard drives in my machine. A 40 gig master and a 45 gig slave. The 40 gig is partitioned into a 4 gig C:\ drive and a 36 gig D:\ drive. The slave is partitioned as a 45 gig E:\ drive. I initially installed Windows XP Professional to the C:\ drive. Due to some problems with my Quick Cam under XP...I decided to install Windows 2000 Professional to the D:\ drive. Now I am having problems booting XP...in fact I can't boot it at all. I get an error saying a file is missing and it will not boot XP at all. I hit control-alt-delete and then choose to boot 2000 and can boot to it fine. Here is what my boot.ini has in it....
[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 Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
I guess what I am asking is did I do this wrong? Is there an optimal way of doing this?...🙁
