Not another dual boot question, yes but with a difference......
Then modify the WinXP single-boot boot.ini file so that it will dual-boot. (Since it's already dual-booting, you can leave boot.ini as it is now. realize that I'm saying that the RUNNING operating system will call its partition "C:", while the other OS is merely seen as a file hierarchy in another partition.

When starting up, I get a menu to choose which OS I'd like to boot up (after a few seconds it defaults to the one that was last used).
