Greetings, I recently installed Windows Media OS. All is fine, EXCEPT at the "Please select an Operating System" prompt, When you select Windows Media, it brings up Longhorn, when you select Longhorn, it brings up Windows Media. What in the world did I do. Otherwise, they all come up, just not as labeled!!Any ideas? Thanks -EZ

Edit your boot.ini [c:\boot.ini a hidden system file] and swap the descriptions between the "" Golly gee wilerkers learn to Internet Search

Sounds like the 'labels' in boot.ini have got mixed up somehow. You can edit boot.ini so label matches the installation.

Yep, if you can't find the boot.ini (not to dimune your intelligence or anything) either enable show hidden file and uncheck hide protected files or go to system properties > Advanced > Startup and recovery - Settings > click edit. If for whatever reason it does not work or you mess up something, pop your xp cd in and goto recovery console, at console type 'bootcfg /rebuild' (no quotes) it should find both, label them accordingly and when it asks for execution options or whatever, use /fastdetect for the one you want to startup as default. http://thpc.info/dual/bootcfg.html Good luck and godspeed!

Use Notepad for the editing. Anything else can cause problems.

Ahem, Using all the responses, I was succesful with changing the BOOT.INI File by editing with notepad(saving an original copy first)! You Folks Rock, IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT!! Approximately 1 year ago, I was at my newbie(still am) wit's end. I was trying to fix a friends Gateway pc that had viruses galore! Back then, I was introduced (By Folks at Computing.net)to the FDISK, etc. Wow1 At this moment, I'm sitting in front of 4 of my own pc's, all of which run superbly, compliments of Computing.net folks that care and respond. If I may list each: #1 An old NEC Powermate Enterprise 400 mhz/94 Ram Windows Xp Pro. #2 An old NEC Powermate 8100 400 mhz/ 194 Ram/ Windows Xp Pro. #3 Emachine T-4150/512 1.5Ghz/512 Ram/XP Home/ Pro and Windows Media. #4 Dell 3000 3.0Ghz/512 Ram/ Xp Home/Xp Media and Longhorn(Vista) 5048.The EMachine utilizes a 60 GB HD., while the Dell shows off with a Primary 160 GB and a secondary 60 gb hd. Anyway, Thank You all for the responses in the past. I do not drink, but here is a toast to all...-EZ
