hello
i have a hard drive with 2 partitions, and installed linux onto one and changed the partition table and such, which worked fine, but the boot loader would not pick up windows XP. So, i got rid of linux, but then XP would not start, so i reinstalled XP onto the spare partition. Now i have 2 installs of xp, but only one will work.
I think that they are both meant to be listed in the MSCONFIG > BOOT.INI tab thing, unless I am mistaken, and then there should be a menu, so to speak, of the operaring systems, but only one is listed.
Basically, I was wondering how i would get my pc to boot from the other installation, instead of the current one / give me the choice to chose which one to boot.
Thanks for any help
