Lost OS Choices menu

[Chandra Sekhar]

I made a mistake by running SYS C:\ from a windows ME startup disk on my
computer which was a dual boot (ME & XP).

Now I dont have my OS options screen anymore. I am unable to get to XP by
anymeans. Everytime I switch on my machine, it by default gets into ME. Any
change in boot.ini file has no effect!

I want to get back my XP. Could you please help.

Thanks in advance.

Sekhar.

Hi Chandra,
This site my help: http://www.kellys-korner.com/par_exp.htm
or
http://www.winxpfix.com/page5.htm
your boot.ini should look something like this
boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect
C:\ = "Microsoft Windows"
(Maximize this window, the lines my wrap)

Hope This Helps
