Ron,

[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 Professional" /fastdetect

I didn't make a new ini, copied the one from the computer
I made the boot disk for.

Thanks,

Tom
