I have XP on 2 separate disks. I have enabled multi boot
but the boot.ini only shows the default boot device. How
do I get to choose the disk at boot time (one for my
son's games etc(dirty) and one for me (clean)).

If the system drive is C: for each of the two installations
then you need to install a third-party boot manager such
as XOSL. The native WinXP "boot manager" cannot
handle your type of installation.
