to the former joe b.

the exact setup is w2k on c drive in ntfs with the logical drive in fat32.

w2k on the d drive in ntfs and not booting.

when i boot the computer it gives me a boot menu for either w2k(which is the c drive) and windows(which has to be the d drive but is really w2k. as i said in the last post, i believe the w95 insatll on c overwrote files on d so that it appears to the boot file as windows*. this is of course an uneducated guess). if i chose w2k it boots to c but if i chose windows it goes to a black screen with a flashing line. i control-alt-del out of that.

i have partition magic on the c drive and could convert it to fat32 although the w2k quick start book says that is not possible, pm says it is.

if you think the boot.ini file would work under these conditions, i would really apreciate if you posted it. of course you would have to tell me exactly where to load the file.
thanks
belker
