Attachment 62944 Windows 2000 and XP use boot.ini to identify where and how they are booted. Here is an example:
The code should look more like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 Server" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
If you were to swap hard drives, the first boot drive is rdisk (0) so if XP is expected to be on the second hard drive, rdisk (1) but you have moved it to rdisk (0), it will not boot. You can edit the boot.ini to match your configuration.
How to edit the Boot.ini file in Windows 2000
Hope this helps?
