How do i change boot hd?

[Ignition]

Ok, heres the deal 🙂,
I got Windows 98 on c: and Windows xp on d:, and i want to reformat the c: drive.
But, the problem is that boot.ini is on the c: drive, so if i reformated it, Windows xp wouldnt boot, right?

How do i make it work?

🙂

Windows XP has nice easy way to set this... go into control panel open up system properties (alternatively you can right-click my computer and select properties...

go to the "advanced" tab... under the last section "Start up and recovery" click settings... select the os u want it to boot from default... done 🙂... should work sweetly now

P.S. Your computer will auto detect which hard drive has an OS on it... and boot from that... other wise u can do it through the dos prompt that comes up 🙂 - many ways to deal with this situation m8

mine solution:
format c:
after that insert winxp cd, boot from it, choose recovery console, logon to your winxp, use the command "fixmbr" or "fixboot". eject the xp cd and boot normaly
