It is =] -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of dsw32952@xxxxxxxxx Sent: 11 July 2008 15:04 To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Default boot system 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".
