Are you talking about the win.ini file? Probably all you had to do was
delete the line for the removed drive and put the proper drive designator in
the line that was left until you got it replaced? No?



No sir. I changed boot.ini to effect the dual boot. The original
was:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP
Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

To:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP
Professional 1" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP
Professional 2" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

which produces a two choice menu defaulting to first choice at boot.
