Does anyone here know how to set up the Boot.ini file - that would allow choice to boot from different drive - running a different OS,
Thanks:D

Really it depends on what OS's you want but just for reference here is the boot.ini file from my system that dual boots between 98 on C:\ and XP on D:\ and a failed copy of XP that was loaded on E:\ and ran for a while till it became corrupt and unbootable. E:\ was a scsi drive also so there are some minor differences. But this should give you the idea as to how to procede.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows"
