Can someone tell me if I understand the Boot.ini File as far as this Line?

Boot Loader.
Timeout=30
This Line is just how Long the Boot Menu will stall on screen in sec.


default=multi[0]disk[0]rdisk[0]partition[1]\Windows

default=multi[0]  is the IDE Controler number
disk[0]  is the Hard Drive number

rdisk[0]  what is this??

Please tell me if everything is right and what I sould know

I think I am getting some of it with the Boot.ini

default=multi[0]disk[0]rdisk[0]partition[1]\Windows

If you are useing IDE Hard Drives you would set it like this
default=multi[0]

and i9f you are useing  scisi Hard Drives you would set it like this
default=scisi[0]

and the scisi controler number would go were {0} is

so
default=multi[0]  means the first IDE controler  and   disk[0]   means the  first Hard Drive on the belt  and what is rdisk[0]partition[1]\Windows



Hedonist:

After all this time your Google finger still giving problems?

nymph4:

So if I set it to
default=multi[0]

I get this it will tell the Boot Loader that I am useing a  IDE Hard Drive.
 But why set to  0.  and   not  1.  or  2.  ??

If you would for a  scisi  number??
