Hey,

All right guess I will explain a little.

For example:

Quote:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windo ws Server 2003, Enterprise" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windo ws XP Professional" /fastdetect
Multi disk is hardly ever used. It Specifies the drive controller number. Anyways rdisk is of course "real physical disk". So you said you had to two disks and two os, one per each. So you start at zero. So first is zero and second is is 1. Then since you have each OS on each hard drive installed on the first partition then you set partition to 1.

And of course you not limited to one install per hard drive either so you could have this as well:

Quote:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microso ft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
This is called the Advanced RISC Computing (ARC) naming convention.

Got to love MSDN.

Take Care,
Will
