I have read through a number of entries regarding dual boot set ups and have
had a go at using the bootcfg /rebuild command.
My question is, what do you enter for the following?
-Load identifier
-OS load options
My set up is as follows
Drive C: XP Pro sp2 – general use
Drive D: XP x64 – gaming
I decided to dual boot as when I want to run a game and put the machine into
SLI mode I have to re-boot anyway, so I thought I might as well have a clean
set up with just the OS and the game.

After posting the below question I thought I'de have one last serch and found
the following article which was a great help

I now have my system dual booting fine... apart from the setting for how
long the option menu had somehow set itself to 1 second. Changed that and
everythings works ok now.
