System won't load Win 2000

[doubledragon5]

Turned on the pc this morning and my boot loader did not give the option of which OS to load, it loaded Win XP.

Went to My Computer and the 2 other drives are present, checked in devise manager also. If I open up my D drive all files are there. Went into bio and tried boot there first but will only boot to XP. Then I disabled my I disabled all boot options except the drive I can't reach. When booting I get system failure insert system disk. What went wrong and how to fix.

Thanks

Did you make any changes to the boot.ini file?

Is "Display a list of operating systems" checked in the startup and recovery option when you right click on my computer and hit properties?

Yup, I ended up having to reinstall 2000 again. And like before after installing 2000 again I had to reinstall XP, because 2000 became the first boot option instead of XP like it originally was and when choosing to load XP all I would get is a message saying there was a error and 2000 wound not load when in fact XP is the one I choose to load. 2000 loaded fine.

I remember someone saying it is better to load the old os first then the new, well that is one that I will have to say is not entirely true, because this has happened to me twice.
