Below is my boot.ini file. At the present time the default is to boot to
the XP Pro on Drive D: which was the second OS installed.
I want the default to be to the first OS installed.
I think if I go to My Computer/Properties/Advanced/Startup and
Recovery/Settings/ and look under System Startup/Default operating system,
the default will display in the window and it will be highlighted in blue.
To change it I would open the drop down menu and select the other OS listed.
Since both options have the same exact name it can be confusing to select
the right option when booting. Is there a way to change the names that
appear during booting? Can I rename them to read "Drive C" and "Drive D"
instead? Or better yet rename to the same name I assign to the drive
(Stonehenge and Waterlillies)?
I suspect it is not as easy as simply editing the text between the "quote
marks".
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
Thanks,
Don
