I have 2 harddisk
1) 8 Gb NTFS in this disk is the windows XP Profesional (this is the 0 disk)
2) 20 Gb, in this disk i have two partitions one of 10 Gb FAT (only with
information) and the second partition of 10 Gb NTFS where i have the windows
2000 Server (this is the 1 disk).

Windows XP Professional have a file where is possible to decide the boot,
this is the original content of this file:

[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" /fastdetect
how i need to modify this file to enable boot of the windows 2000
server???? i have try with this modification but with any kind of result

[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" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows 2000server"
/fastdetect


somebody can give an idea???
thanks

If you removed Disk 0 to install Windows 2000, then this cannot be done.

If you installed Windows 2000 first AND selected WINDOWS as the systemroot,
then installed XP then line needs to read:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows 2000server"
/fastdetect
