I have windows XP installed on two separate hdd's. I am trying to dual boot them by modifying the boot.ini file. Here is what I have:
I don't know why it puts "WINDOWS" on two lines, but its not really like that.
I have the first drive set to master and the second one set to slave, but whenever I select the second one, I get an error saying that it can't the boot directory. Both drives will boot to windows if I plug them in one at a time. I copied the boot.ini file onto both hdd's so they are both the same, but it didn't help.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Code:
[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 1" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional 2" /fastdetect
