Why is it so hard to multiboot OS's ? I'm stuck.

[Klisp]

This hard for me to explain but i'll give it my best shot.

I have a installation of windows xp on one of my hard drives. My girl wants her own copy of windows. So i took an image (like norton ghost)of my current os and installed it another hard drive.

The problem is.. i don't get the prompt when the pc boots up to pick which installation of xp i want. I know it has to do with something in the boot.ini file. Could anyone with a dual boot config copy and paste there boot.ini file here so i could see how it looks ?

Say, your copy of XP is on C:\ and your gf's on D:\

Boot to Windows (it will be the one that is on the 1st partition - default) and edit your boot.ini:



[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP - My copy" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP - My gf's copy" /fastdetect
