boot selection

[Klaus Fanz]

hello

I want to have a selection between operation systems while booting (Win98,
Win2000, Win XP) and I want to have Win2000 as my default system

This is my boot.ini:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional"
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\TEMP="Microsoft Windows XP Professional"
/fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows 98"

but it does not work properly

I always get the selection

Windows2000
Windows XP
Win98
and Windows (Standard)

an then Windows wants to launch with the last OS

What is the reason, how can I make Win 2000 to my default OS

Thank you

Klaus Fanz

It should work. Although the using \temp directory for the Windows XP
windows directory looks strange.

You need to change your default line to read

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT

Do not put the text description. That will also get rid of the Windows
(Standard) line.

Dave,

I did the first read through it also, easy thing to miss. Then I saw the
3rd choice in the menu and caught it.
