If anyone can answer these 2 questions, I would greatly
apprecitiate it. I have created and use 2 partitions on
my drive, both running Windows XP. When I boot up my PC,
it asks which operating system I want to load and gives
me 2 choices, which are named the exact same "Windows
XP....".

How could I change what these Operating
Systems/Partitions are called so as to diffferentiate
them at load time. ALSO, how can I change the order in
which they appear? It defaults to the partition that is
listed in the 1st position of choices after 30 seconds
and I would like it to default to my other partition.
 
Edit the BOOT.INI file, which is hidden, in the root
directory of the first partition (usually). It's just a
text file.

Read this first:

I'd make a copy of BOOT.INI before I did ANYTHING to
it 'cause if you mess it up, the system may not boot.

Good Luck !
