Had to reinstall 98, and using the repair feature in W2K, got to boot into 2000, but have lost the dual boot, due to the entries that are currently not in the boot.ini
Just need a copy of a boot.ini from a computer set up to dual boot, so that I can script it in. Thanks in advance!

You need to tell us how the partitions are arranged on your hard drive(s). Which OS is on which partition? What type of hard drive(s) are you using, IDE or SCSI? We need to know that to tell you how to write the boot.ini file. It's odd that W2K's repair function wouldn't detect your Win98 installation and properly create the boot.ini file for it. This makes me think that you have a non-standard partition arrangement or a failed re-installation of Win98.

Hope you get a solution.

Regards,
Jim

here's what's in my boot.ini

[boot loader]
timeout=3
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows"
