2 WinXP on one machine

Hi,

I had two OS on my computer - Win 98 SE on drive C and XP Professional on D.
I decided to upgrade Win98 to XP Professional.

Upgrade was successful, but the computer didn't recognise two OS. The
original XP was not noticed.

So I went to System Restore settings, and changed boot.ini file as ...


[boot loader]
timeout =12
default = multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS = "Microsoft Windows XP
Professional 1"

C:\="Microsoft Windows XP Professional 2"

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

Now my computer has stopped working. How should I bail myself out of this?

Thanks!

If you already HAD XP pro on your machine I must ask....WHY?

Ha ha ... I decided to upgrade my Win 98 SE to XP because I access the
Internet through this partition and I believe XP provides better protection
against viruses and also provides better control to users like myself.

I had just recovered from a bad infection, and had no intention of going
through the headache again!!!

The internet is NOT accessed through a "partition" - a "partition" is a
segment of a hard disk drive. And no, XP does NOT give you "better
protection" than W98.........
