I have got 2 harddisk
harddisk 0, partition 1 (6GB) is formatted with Windows 98SE and is bootable
harddisk 0, partition 2 (3.5GB) is loaded with Windows 2000 Pro
harddisk 0, partition 3 (3GB) is loaded with Windows 2000 AS

harddisk 1, partition 1 (4GB) is loaded with Windows Millenium
harddisk 1, partition 2 (10GB) is formatted with Windows 98SE and is bootable

All are FAT32.

Now starting windows 2000 Pro, with Boot menu pointing to HD0 Partition 1 and 2 with Windows 98SE Dos as option 3.

Tried to add Windows Millenium and HD0, Partition 1 into the boot.ini but no success.
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\="Microsoft Windows 98 DOS"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\="Microsoft Windows Millenium"

Currently my boot.ini

[boot loader]
timeout=5
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
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Advance Server" /fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows"

Try bootpart and with no success either, giving me a no operating system message.

System on Abit BE6 with Highpoint ATA66 onboard controller
Quantum LM+ on HD0 and IBM GXP75 on HD1

Any sugguestion ?

what drive letter is ME on?
try: D:\="Microsoft Windows ME" (changing the drive letter to match ME)
I've noticed that for w95/98, it doesn't use the <multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)> format, it uses drive letters.
