I tried to do a dual install of me and 2000.
i got rid of 2000, but the boot.ini file still
thinks that 2000 is the default. Can someone
post a correct boot.ini for windows me?thanks

The boot.ini file is not needed in ME. If you have removed the Winnt folder and you just want to boot into ME do this:
1)Make an ME bootdisk:
Go to start>>settings>>control panel>>add/remove programs>>Startup disk>>create disk.2)Boot to the boot disk:
Choose without cd-rom support.
at the a:\> prompt type "sys c:" without the quotes.
You should see: System Transfered.3)Pull out the bootdisk.
You will boot directly into ME
Delete:
boot.ini
ntdetect.com
ntldrWindows 2000 will be gone now.
Just for your information, here is what my Boot.ini looks like:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WIN2000="Microsoft Windows 2000 Server" /fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows"
