Remove a second installation of win2000

[mtijn]

I installed a second version of win2k on a second disk.
When the system boots, I got the option of choosing between two OS\'s, win2000 or win2000.
Now I changed the contents of the second disk (not using that instance of w2000 anymore) and the system doesn\'t start any OS anymore (NTLDR is missing).
When I disconnect the second disk there\'s no problem.
Any ideas to get the disk online again???

gr. & thanks!

If you have w2k on two different disks , then you have two times \"windows 2000 prfessional \" in your boot.ini .
The last w2k you installed is your default line (this is mine):
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)WINNT .
rdisk(1) stands for drive D =my w2k is on drive D
rdisk(0) = drive  c
so if your w2k is on drive C you should change rdisk(1) to rdisk(0) , so your default line should read :
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINNT
if you didn\'t partition your harddisks .
As you probably know boot.ini on drive c : is a hidden file
so try to acces to dos (with a win98 seup floppy)
go to c: , type attrib -r -s -h boot.ini
and the edit boot.ini .
There are other ways too to repair your boot , with the w2k setup and repair .

You should also dele the line in you boot ini
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)WINNT=\"Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional\" /fastdetect  (if rdisk was on drive D)
I mean the line with the rdisk(?) corresponding to the w2k you deleted
