Dual boot won't boot after upgrade

I have 2 hd's one with a recently installed XpPro and another with XpPro that
I use for beta testing. After I installed the XpPro on my C drive I can no
longer boot into my other HD. Here's what I have for my boot.ini
[boot loader]
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
Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Beta
Drive" /fastdetect

I obviously have something wrong. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
TIA

for the 2nd drive:
change the disk(value) to zero and change rdisk(value) to one.

should work, if you gave correct info on computer configuration!!
