I have Xp installed and have had Win2K installed a few times in a dual-boot
and always used bootmagic or PQ Boot for windows to choose what OS I want.
Well now I would like to edit my boot.ini to be presented with a choice. I
read the article at Doug Knox's site about replacing the NTLDR and NETDETECT
in 2K with XP's and I did that. I then put 6 more entries in my boot.ini to
make sure i had every partition covered and then some. Well, none of them
will boot to Win2k, but of course I can still boot to XP. Any ideas? I do
not like to really on 3rd party apps when its a setting I should be able to
do myself.
Thanks for your time!
 
Thanks Paul, but I know how to edit the boot.ini. Like i said, i made
several entries and not one would boot to win2k.

I felt same way trying to clone XP but after spending days
trying to Dual Boot 2 XPs I used PQboot & in 5 mins it
worked. My 1st time dual booting.

I still get the OS selection screen b4 boot & have not tried
changing the OS there WITHOUT running PQboot 1st. Kinda
scary thinking about disaster recovery !

I could post the only files I know changed- 2 BOOT.INI's.
Let me know if that would help.
Comments/suggestions/corrections appreciated. Thanks- bye-
Larry
