Let's have a look at your current boot.ini. Where are your
two installations of WinXP located?

Hi

current boot.ini

[boot loader]

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP

Try this:

[boot loader]
timeout=3
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 (Original)" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WIN2="Microsoft Windows XP Professional
(Copy)" /fastdetect
