I manage to display boot selection menu. Actually my Xp
install at hardisk, Primary Disk 0 assign c:\ and
another hardisk, Primary Disk 1 install NT 4.0 server
assign e:\
did my boot.ini command is correct?. Did I need to do the
same thing at NT boot.ini?. Please help.

I get message after i restart and select to boot from
windows NT as below:
Windows cannot start bacause of a computer disk hardware
configuration problem.
Could not read from the selected bootdisk. Vheck boot
path and disk hardware.
please check the windows documentation about harware disk
configuration and your hardware reference manuals for
additional information.

my sample boot.ini at Windows XP:

[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(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT
Server Version 4.0"
