NT boot.ini for comparison

Here (below) is my NT boot.ini for comparison. This should be similar to the one on your second harddrive. I installed NT over Win95..NT set up the dual boot as part of the process.

Note the 30 second delay..this is the same 30 sec that I see in the system/startup..shutdown options. I do not understand why you have a 0 second delay?? how do you make a choice to boot primary if it defaults to something else and you have a 0 second delay??

What does 0 stand for in WINNT0? is it a directory name?

It sure does look to my untrained eye like you have a single boot setup in primary boot.ini ( ie zero second delay with one option) with a reference to the wrong OS..just like you indicate.
