Hey guys does anyone know how to modify the w2k boot.ini to boot to BeOS. I have done this with RedHat Linux so the process should be about the same.

YOU NEED TO ADD BeOS TO THE BOOT LOADER. YOU CAN GO TO START-UP AND RECOVERY OR YOU HAVE TO FIND THE BOOT.INI AND EDIT IT VIA NOTEPAD. ITS PROBABLY HIDDEN SO YOU CAN GO TO A COMMAND PROMPT AND DO A ATTRIB. HAVE FUN. GOOD LUCK. IT TOOK ME ABOUT TWO WEEKS TO GET BeOS TO BOOT UP WITH WIN 2K, WIN XP, WIN 98, AND LINUX MADRAKE 8.2. I GOT IT TO SHOW ON THE BOOT LOADER BUT IT WOULD HANG AFTER I HIT ENTER. I FINALLY GOT IT BY EDITING THE BOOT.INI.
