Hi I've got Windows 2000 and Windows Me on seperate drives and I want to set up a dual-boot. I've figured out ARC setup (disk(0), etc) for the boot.ini configuration on the 2000 drive, but can anyone tell me what the boot.ini file on the Me drive should look like? I recently had to reinstall 2000, and I figured it would put this system in place (it did before, when I first installed it) But there were no prompts in that direction and so I'm trying to do it by hand. Any help gratefully received.

I have Win98 on C: and installed Win2000 on D: After having all kinds of problems, I formatted the D: and got rid of Win2000. I did get the option to go to either OS upon start-up, but overall I wasn't happy with all the new problems resulted from my experiment.
