Hi
Open Windows Explorer. Select the "C:" drive.
Edit boot.ini file as it follows:

[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional installation on C" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional installation on D" /fastdetect

What you can modify in this file:
The number after timeout= represents the number of seconds you wish to display the boot menu.
So, if you choose 10, the computer will wait 10 seconds until it will boot the default OS which is in this case Windows 2000 Pro from the C drive.

The next line represents which is the default OS installation.
If your hard drive has 2 partitions and you wish to boot by default from the first partition (C drive) you can use the line specified earlier.

The message beetween " " it is what you see when your computer is starting.
So change only the message beetween " " with some text you like(as I did in my example if you like it).
Save the file. Please check that after saving it the file has the .ini extension and restart your computer. Smile | :)

Disclaimer:
Changing boot.ini file without strong knowledge could lead to an unusefull computer. Do it on your own risk!

Mihai Z.
