Booting

ok, so i want to skip the "boot" selection.

my windows xp professional doesn't work...i don't even know why it's there.

so

my original boot.ini file is


[boot loader]
timeout=3
default=signature(ea109de4)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
signature(ea109de4)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Media Center Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect


but i want it to load the xp instead

would i change default to

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\windows


or would i do something else.

 

you want to load XP Media Center Edition, correct? If so, it wont hurt to delete the line "signature(ea109de4)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect"

If that line is a working partition, you may want to save that string in a text file somewhere in case you would like to have it back in the boot.ini file in the future

 

would i change default to the xp media center line?

 

yes, default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
