Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)
I was attempting to install Win2k on a different hard
drive, but when I ran the setup it put the files on my
main C:\ which I use on this computer.
When I boot up now, I get the following boot options:
1. Windows 2000 Professional
2. Windows 2000 (Default)
Option 1 is the original operating system. Option 2 is
the setup files and gives an error message when selected
to boot (which is not good because it's the default)
I removed the reference to the second option in Boot.ini,
but it didn't change a thing. Here is my current boot.ini:
