I partitioned the harddisk into two parts and have set up a dual boot
system with two separate operating systems. Normally there should be two
lines in the boot screen so that one can select one of the two systems.
In my case there should appear as below:
Windows 2000 I
Windows 2000 II
with clock counting
This time, for some unknown reasons, there appears three lines as below:
Windows 2000 I
Windows 2000 II
Windows 2000 (Default)
There, "Windows 2000 (Default)" is hilighted and If I don't move to
another, the computer clashes. Also there is no clock counting the
preset time.
If I select "Windows 2000 I" or "Windows 2000 II", it proceeds to boot
to the selected system.
In the attempt to correct the irregularity, I checked the boot.ini file
and found it looking normal as below:
[boot loader]
timeout=15
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINN2="Windows 2000 I" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 II" /fastdetect
That is, I don't see the line of "Windows 2000 Default".
What is going on? and how can I correct the irregularity? Can anyone help?
