Quick Question in my boot.ini file

[ajpa123]

Hi guys, I partitioned my computer in 3 partitions a long time ago and installed XP Pro on the the first 2 partitions, C: and D:

My C: was gettin bloated so i reinstalled XP Pro on the C: drive... and now when i reboot, I only have one option to boot to. I guess i didn't do what i was supposed to.

Here is what my boot.ini file looks like

[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 /NoExecute=OptIn


What line do i add to make the D: partition visible as a boot up choice at start-up.

Thanks for the help.. I'm clueless at this stuff.

If it's the 2nd partition on the same physical disk wouldn't it be...

[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 /NoExecute=OptIn
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

Also, you could make "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" something like "Microsoft Windows XP Professional - C" and "Microsoft Windows XP Professional - D" to specify them better.

Glad to help. And if it doesn't work just boot the default option and change it back. No harm done. 😀
