[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows 2000 Hacked Logo" /fastdetect /kernel=kernel02.exe

Re: changing boot.ini?

"hacked logo", never seen anything like that in a boot.ini file

I did not even realise you could use the boot.ini to boot to different OS on the same partition, never tried that.

Have you tried just changing the order so that the first entry it reads which matches the default, loads?

I suspect you have, just asking.

Re: changing boot.ini?

Do you want to keep the hacked logo version?

I can't remember much from win2k, I mainly use fedora and XP, with XP you can insert your install disc and you can repair your XP installation, a command along the lines of fixmbr should get rid of the other entry, BUT not sure if this is something you can do on 2k, perhaps you can try this and let me know if it is an option or not.

OR:
Possibly just remove the 'hacked logo' version and reboot? have you tried this?

copy your boot.ini and remove the part that you don't want.

Re: changing boot.ini?

Also, I am not sure if this is XP specific, but at the end of my XP OS line I have :

 /NoExecute=OptIn
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
