5801.0. "Descriptive startup wording for dual boot?" by SHRCTR::FENTON () Thu Mar 13 1997 08:02

    I created a boot partition on D drive, so I can backup the C drive
    sysroot partition. When I boot, I see the selection for booting to the
    different disk drive, but they have the same name! ("Windows NT Server
    Version 4.00"). 
    
    I know if I arrow down to the second one, I boot to the C drive, and
    the first one to the D drive. How can I change this with a something a
    little more descrpitive? (like "C Drive NT Server V4.0").
    
    I already looked in Start, Control Panel, System, Startup/Shutdown
    properties. I can't change the wording in that box.
    
    thanks for any info

	On an Intel system that info is in BOOT.INI. You'll have to edit that. Note the attributes of the file so that after you change them to edit them, you can change them back. On Alpha systems, this is done in the system bios menus. (ARC or AlphaBIOS, depending on the system in question) mike
