I currently have a system that has Windows XP Professional on one Harddrive and Windows XP 64 Professional on another. I want to set up a dual boot menu as it did not do it for me when I installed XP 64. Basically my Machine is this
Athlon 64 X2 4400+
Abit KN8 Ultra Nforce 4 Motherboard
Drive C = Mirror RAID of 120GB harddrives (XP Pro)
Drive D Single 120GB Harddrive (XP 64)
I attached a screenshot taken from Everest Home Edition scan of my Disk Drives. Hopefully that will help. I did not know how to insert an image into this post.
Currently my Boot.ini reads like this [boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn /usepmtimer
Since my XP 64 installation is on drive D, I did not know how to add the necessary lines to make it boot menu to reflect that information.
Everest states that my 2 RAID drives are on host 1 and have ID's of 0 and 2. My other 120GB harddrive is on Host 3 with an ID of 0. I have searched the internet and tried many edits to the boot.ini and have had no success. If you cannot get the image maybe someone can explain to me how to add it to this forum or I could email it to you if it would help. Thanks
