That's the entire boot.ini file? Whole thing?

On Win NT C: that's the whole file.

On KOT 98nt0 D: the boot.ini file is...

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT0
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT0="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT0="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos
C:\="Microsoft Windows"

I assumed the only boot.ini for C: would be the one in question because thats the volume I want to boot.

you DID back up the boot.ini file, right?

The only backups I have for the primary nt install are the DI images. It would be included there...correct?

You didn't tell me about your partitions on the slave, but
I'll take a guess that the first active primary partition
is the FAT16 partition with Win98 and an NT install in
Winnt0 directory. Is that correct?

Yes.. that is definitely coorect. The next and only other IDE 2 partition is the extended with 1 logical drive called archives and the rest free space.

Further, I infer that the NT install on the primary master
(IDE1) is in the Winnt directory.

Correct.

IF all this is true, then the following
boot.ini file will give you a choice of NT on IDE1 in
Winnt or NT on IDE2 in Winnt0, with a default to Winnt on
IDE1:

Can I just copy and paste this into my existing boot.ini?
