Hello, 

My question regards to Information Technology:
I am Mulibooting between Windows 2000 pro, Windows 2000 server and
Windows XP Pro. I need to edit the Boot.ini file for correct
multiboot.
After editing the Boot.ini:
When i boot my machine, i see only windows 2000 Pro and Windows 2000
Server, i don't see My Windows XP Pro Partition. In addition, i boot
succesfully into Windows 2000 Pro, Though when i boot into Windows
2000 server i get the BSD (Blue Scree Of Death).

I am guessing that the way i edited the Boot.ini in incorrect. If you
can kindly send me in your reply the correct format.
I am very thankfull for your time. looking forward to hearing your answer.
Thank you!!!
