Need some help changing the boot.ini file. I want to switch the drives from the ide1 channel to the sata channels and am unsure how to do it. I have two disks, master/slave, on ide1. WinMe is on C, on the master. WinXP is on D, the first partition on the slave. I figure even if I screw it up, Winme will still boot, but I'd like to get it right the first time
Here's what boot.ini is on the ide1.
[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
C:\ = "Microsoft Windows"
Would it change to rdisk 3, or stay as 1 since I have nothing on IDE1.
