Boot.Config(ing)

[BMcElroy]

Hi,

I recently reformatted my primary HDD with XP Pro on, and when it booted up after installation I found it no longer gave me an option to access my secondary OS (Windows 2003 Server (enterprise)). Upon further investigation I discovered that the command line in the boot.cfg file was no longer there. I tried replicating the XP command line and changing the appropriate things, but I can't figure out which bits to set 1 and which to set at 0. Any help would be appreciated.

Extra Info:

Primary OS: Windows XP Pro
HDD 0, Partition 1
Secondary OS: Windows 2003 Server
HDD 1 (my second HDD) Partition 1 (I assume, since there is only one partion on that drive)

The original boot.cfg was as follows:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect


I figured these would need to be added somewhere, with the appropriate numbers heh
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows 2003" /fastdetect

Thank you for your time,

Ben McElroy

It should be multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(0); other than that it looks all OK.
BTW, did they change the name of boot.ini? I've always known this file as boot.ini, not boot.cfg.

You can boot from the 2003 CD and do a repair.
