Sata boot.ini ?

[to Father Time]

Good Day All

I am configuring my new sata drive.

If you have XP on your Sata drive could you please post its contents/text.

My motherboard: Asus A7V8X

My operating system: XP

How would my boot.ini text (below) change with the addition of Sata drive
with a Sata XP boot partition?

--------------------------------------------------------

Here is an example of mine before I convert to sata (has two ide drives)

[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

--------------------------------------------------------

Does anyone know if the boot.ini is different between Asus's A7V8X and their
A7N8X.


Kind Regards

Father Time

I boot off a non-SATA, but its boot loader loads XP from the SATA drive, and
this is mine(I have a few partitions on the SATA drive too):

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT

Purely sata on the VIA controller- this is how mine looks.

[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 Home
Edition" /fastdetect
