Hi I was altering my dual boot system (2 versions of windows XP) and now I
do not get the menu asking what version I want to boot into. What is wrong
with this

[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" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

Thanks Ron

Ron,

You only have 1 OS in this boot.ini, so you will not be presented an option,
add in a second OS under the [operating systems] section and you will get
the option to choose

HTH,

Start > Run > msconfig > Boot.ini > Check all boot paths

This is because there is a single option that refers to a single installation.
