Dual Boot Woes
Hello Everyone,
I made a boo-boo while trying to partition a second harddrive and now I am stuck. The main drive (c) has XP home installed. I added a second hard drive and used the XP installation disk to partition and format the second drive. Did not stop the setup from continuing after the format. So now when I boot, the boot manager wants to know which XP Home installation to boot to. What is the best way to fix this without losing any data. Is there a way to repair the MBR without starting all over again? Thanks In Advance, Tireman

Ok never mind, forgot that I can edit the boot.ini file to correct this. Slap myself in the head!

XP does have Disk Management in which you can partition and format the drive.
Administrative tools > Computer Management > Disk Management
