Creating a dual boot configuration with Windows 7 and XP

[rivethead]

I have Windows XP on a 120GB SATA Seagate HD
I have Windows 7 on a 15GB IDE WD HD

Since installing, the only way I can get W7 to boot is to change the hard drive boot priority in the BIOS (the XP drive is a Master and the W7 drive is a Slave if that matters).

That's a pain. I want XP to continue to be my default drive, but I want to be given the opportunity to select W7.

When in either W7 or XP, when I go into the disk manager utility, the WD drive (where W7 resides) is always listed as "disk 0" and the Seagate drive (where XP resides) is listed as "disk 1"

From what I can tell, my best bet would be to edit the boot.ini file.

I haven't tried this yet, but I think it should look like this:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=mulit(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partion(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Home" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partion(1)\WINDOWS="Windows 7 RC" /fastdetect

Basically, I'm changing the "rdisk" value to match the disk number listed in the disk manager.

Will this work, or am I totally off-base?

Thanks!
