Setting Boot Options:
By Raymond Garcia
WinXpFix.com


Windows XP includes support for multiple partitions and multiple operating systems (it inherits this ability from Windows NT/2000). The boot program (Ntldr) is stored in the root folder of the first partition on the first disk. Ntldr reads the Boot.ini file, which is stored in the same folder, to find out which partitions you might want to boot from, which partition to use as the default, what to display in the boot menu, and how long to wait before loading the operating system from the default partition. If the boot menu contains only one option, you won't see it--Ntldr simply boots from that partition.

Ntldr and Boot.ini are hidden or protected system files. If you want to see them in an Explorer window you need to, choose Tools > Folder Options > click the View tab, and deselect the Hide Protected Operating System Files check box. Also choose Show Hidden Files and Folders. WinXpFix.com

To Editing Boot.ini: You can edit the Boot.ini file by using one of three Windows programs: The System Properties dialog box (fewer choices), the System Configuration Utility (displays the whole file for editing), or Notepad.

How to - Start MS-DOS Directly:

To start MS-DOS directly: Choose Win 95 or Win 98 or Win Me from the menu on the boot loader screen, and then press ENTER.

To start MS-DOS, press F4.

Another way to start the three operating systems is to configure your computer to multiple boot Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows 95 or Windows 98 or Windows Me and then start MS-DOS from an MS-DOS bootable floppy disk. If you multiple boot Windows XP, Windows 2000 and MS-DOS, or Windows NT and MS-DOS, you can install Windows 95 or Windows 98 by using the procedure in the following section.


How to - Start MS-DOS from Windows 95 or Windows 98

To start MS-DOS from Windows 95 or Windows 98: On the View menu in My Computer or Windows Explorer, click Options or Folder Options .

Click Show All Files on the Options tab, and then click OK .

In the list of files, double-click the Msdos.sys file.

On the File menu, click Properties .

In the Attributes section on the General tab, click to clear both the Read-Only and Hidden check boxes, and then click OK .

Open the Msdos.sys file by using a text editor (such as Notepad).

Add the following line to the [Options] section of the Msdos.sys file:

BootMulti=1
Save the file, and then close the file.
