editing win xp boot.ini INSTEAD of using Grub or lilo?

[Koreanian]

Hey all

I have had lots and lots of trouble with grub and lilo messing up my system. My question is this.


How do you edit boot.ini to boot redhat linux 8.0 from hdb

I have tried this so far.

boot.ini

[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
multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Redhat Linux 8.0"

not exactly sure what all the arguments mean. could someone fill me in on this?

the obvious are

disk(0)
disk(1)

You can't do it without using GRUB/LILO at some point, though you don't necessarily need to install those to the MBR. Check out the FAQ for more info.
