StaTik 0 Posted May 30, 2001 I need the line from boot.ini that boots win2k on a 98/2k system. I have formated my 98 drive and all I need is that line to get back into 2k. Please help me out here I just reinstalled all my os's about a week ago and dont have any desire to do 2k again. Share this post Link to post
Toby 0 Posted May 30, 2001 And on what disk & partition do you have Win2k installed? Share this post Link to post
StaTik 0 Posted May 30, 2001 On d:\ and win98 is on c:\ One hard drive 3 partitions. Share this post Link to post
Toby 0 Posted May 30, 2001 Then your boot.ini should look like this: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect You also need the following files in the root of your c: ntldr ntdetect.com Good luck. /Toby edit: wrong spelling of filename..
