I have two hard disks in a machine that both have XP pro installed on each - both are the master on their own channel. If I point the bios towards either to boot first it will work but I'd like to change the boot.ini on the first drive to show both OS's on startup.

[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" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

Here's the boot.ini on the first drive, the second drive is the same :confused:

What do I need to change to get it to boot from the second drive off that boot.ini?
 
doesn't matter anymore, the guys happy with selecting the hdd in bios.

would like someone to confirm just so i know though.
