I need to know how to rewrite my boot.ini file so that i can boot from my secondary harddrive, its got windows XP on it, so its got an OS.

Here is the current boot.ini file if that helps


[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect
Dont forget to spread the reputation to those that deserve!
