I'm running Win2k and Win98 on the same drive and want to change the default OS to Win98 but no matter what combination I try it doesn't work. Is there an boot expert out there that knows how to do this? I don't want to use a boot program. I just want to change the default. Here's my file:
[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="Windows 2000" /fastdetect
C:\="Windows 98"
Boot into win 2000, right click My computer & click onto Properties.
Under the advanced tab, click onto the "Startup And Recovery" button & select the default OS there - much easier ;)
I hope you made a backup copy before tampering with that file, I've screwed up a pc before but messing this file up!
This should work
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=c:\
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000" /fastdetect
C:\="Windows 98"
Thanks guys, I'll try that and yes I did make a back up. I've also screwed it up before.
Just wanted you guys know that alex_read's way worked great and created the .ini almost identical to what plenderj suggested.
Thanks again guys
