How To Edit the Boot.ini File in Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q311578

The stuff in quotation marks is the OS description, ie:

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

You could change "Windows 2000 Server" or "Windows XP Professional" in
the above lines and change it to read whatever you want, it won't make a
difference as to the OS itself. As long as the path points to the rignt
OS that's what will start.
