modify boot.ini

[Guest raffles]

Initial my xp is in C partition and I just install the same OS in the D

partition. Now upon boot up it will always ask me which OS do I want to start

with, Cos I want the fresh OS which is the First line (or choice) appearing

when power up the machine.

 

The dual boot.ini looks like this at the moment

 

[boot loader]

timeout=30

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP

Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP

Professional" /fastdetect

 

What shall I modify in the boot.ini so that it will always pick the fresh OS

and load immediately, Thank you for yr help.
