252791	2004-07-18 09:53:00	How many discs and how many partitions on each (if more than one) do you have. Which partition is each os on e.g: win 98 on 3, xp on 2. Cheers Murray P	Murray P (44)
252792	2004-07-18 11:07:00	timeout=10 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\window s [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition([b]3)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect C:\="Microsoft Windows 98" If the default actually works, then that will work too but give you a choice of either 98 or XP .	kiki (762)
