I had windows ME installed previously on a fat32 partition, which is c: i installed windows 2000 pro, server, advanced server on other partitions on drive. when ME was installed i could choose to boot to these OS. Now that i have installed XP on C: i do not get that boot up option. is there a way to modify or to get that option back in bootup. possibly with the boot.ini file? any suggestions.

thanx

the boot.ini file was probably lost that was on the C: drive... the boot.ini file is what does the dual boot with Win 2K... try a third party boot manager like system commander....
