I didn't suggest that you distinguish the two instances based on partition number.
Do you not see the two different folder names in your boot.ini? As in my example where I higlighted it with ^^^^^^^^^^ ????? I'm presuming of course, that you know which folder name is the good instance and which folder name is the bad one. -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Al Christie Sent: Saturday, April 15, 2006 12:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: boot ini Thanks Carl. I thought of renaming one and trying to reboot - just to confirm. Both OS's are on the same partition, so the partition number doesn't tell me the difference. I may try saving a copy first. I was just wanting confirmation that the sequence (top-to-bottom) in boot.ini is the same sequence that appears on the screen.
