Hi

i have 3 partitions on my sata 200 gig hd with WIN2K pro in the 1st
partition - when i installed XP pro in partition 2 i could only boot XP.
after trying win2000 erd and xp erd i reinstalled win2000. then i could only
boot win2000. after trying the above again and bootcfg i still cannot multi
boot. i tried different boot.ini's in both patrtitions and ended up
re-installing again just to be able to boot.

can someone tell me how to get multi boot to function?

TIA

rob

I boot either of 2 XP's using PQboot, part of PM7, since MS
boot manager cant do it. Its easy with no setup but u still
gotta change boot.ini's. U may have similar problem since
2000 & XP r cousins. Not sure.
