I just added Win 2K to my setup along with ME, but I had soem problems and managed to fix them with partition magic. But now the boot menu has something in it that doesn't need to be there and something that needs to be renamed, and I can't remember what the file is called, or where it is located that i need to edit, Help

I just updated the boot.ini file to what i needed and saved it and rebooted, and the boot menu remains unchanged, not sure what happened. Also I now have a few other problems. I started out installing ME on my 30gig maxtor, but I prefer 2K(my primary OS) to be on the C: drive, which is where ME was. So under ME i used partition magic(PM) to format part of the drive for NTFS, then i moved that partition to the front of the ME partition, making it the C: drive and ME on the d:. Then I installed 2K on the c: partition i just created. This is where the first problem comes up. Now my boot menu says something like

Microsoft Win 2K professional
Microsoft Windows
Partition copied from drive 1

The partition copied from drive 1 is what I use to go to 2K, the actual 2K one gives me an error, like I said I tried to change that and it did nothing. My next problem is that under Win ME when i try to open PM it gives me an error saying it can't find a drive letter or something. When i try to open PM under 2K it says it can't see the windows partition or something like that. Well i checked part info and the 2K partition is listed as hidden, and the ME partition is still seen as the bootable partition, even though it is drive d: What do i do?
