Code: Select all
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(3)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(3)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT


You have to change rdisk(#)<---IDE/Sata drive not disk(#)<------for SCSI drive
You hae to change in both locations

That did it, thank you very much! I'm not much of a DOS person.
