I reduced the lingering on the boot menu to 3 seconds from 30 and removed references to w2k and made winme the default

[boot loader]
timeout=3
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)c:\="Microsoft Windows"
[operating systems]
c:\="Microsoft Windows"

hehe yep thats the right way to do it, thanks Muck
since posting i was fiddling around with it, and i came up with setting Win ME as the default and heres what im using which works grand, boots right thru the startup screen and thru to Windows

[boot loader]
timeout=0
default=c:\
[operating systems]
c:\="Microsoft Windows"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect

Sorry no advice here just another question...

I had xp installed on my second drive, I deleted it but was left with the dual O.S. choice at startup.
Will the advice given here work for me too!

Thanks
