I have two physical hard drives: one with windows xp
(master) and the second with windows 98 (slave). In
order to setup the choice of booting into either
operating system, what should my boot.ini file look
like? Here is what it currently looks like.

[boot loader]
redirect=usebiossettings
redirectbaudrate=
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft
Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft
Windows 98 SE" /fastdetect

Thanks
 
IF YOURE WINDOWS XP IS FORMATED IN NTFS YOU CANT TRADE
DATA BACK AND FORTH WITH WIN 98

GO TO SYSEM IN CONTROL PANEL THE ADVANCED THEN STARTUP
AND RECOVERY CHECK THE BOXES TO DISPLAY LIST OF OS

IN WINDOWS XP YOU MAY ALSO EDIT THE BOOT.INI FILEB BUT
YOU DONT HAVE TO :P
