dual boot home/pro help!

[danyulland]

Hi all,

A little help please, i have Windows Pro and Home both installed on my one hardrive (dont ask why !). When i boot my computer it gives a choice of both but after 1-2 seconds proceeds to auto boot the XP Home. What i would like it todo is not display this screen at all but boot the XP Pro.... I Googled the problem and found i had to remove a line from my boot.ini this line contains 'windows home' name.... i removed it as specified.

Now when i boot it gives me a choice between XP Pro and 'Windows Default'. It proceeds to boot Windows Default after 1-2 seconds which turns out to be XP Home. I could try adding/deleting bits from the .ini file all day... but im aware that if i do something wrong then my computer probably wont boot at all! wondered if you could tell me where im going wrong? Below is my boot.ini .....

[boot loader]
timeout=1
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS1
[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect



im tempted to just delete the default= line... but am a bit wary of messing it up. So any help is appreciated.. thanx in advance

Dan.

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT /USEPMTIMER

This is mine, try changing timeout to 30 like mine?
