    [boot loader]
    timeout=30
    default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
    [operating systems]
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
    C:\="Microsoft Windows"

    Dual boot Win.98se/Win.2k.Pro
    Above is my Boot.ini file which gives the option of selecting "Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" or "Microsoft Windows" with 2k Pro as the default.  Sites I have visited show how to change the default if both OS's are NT.  How can I set Win.98se to be the default please :-?

    change
     default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
    to
    default=C:\

    that works in XP, guess it should work in 2000
