Dual Booting XP/2003 problem

[alfiboy]

Hi there:

I'm trying to have a dual boot having XP and 2003 in my PC. I have one hard drive for XP and one for 2003. The hard drive that has XP is set as the master and 2003 as the slave. When I boot the PC and I log into XP i'm able to see the other hard drive with 2003 but I can't can't to dual boot.

Here's my boot.ini

[boot loader]

timeout=20

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

I have playing with the Boot.ini but not luck. Any help is appreciated, also I'm if I can have remote assistance will be great if I can't figurate out.

I installed 2003 from the CD in a different hard drive 160 gig and for windows XP i used a 60 gig.

Here's my most recent boot.ini

[boot loader]

timeout=20

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows 2003"/fastdetect

Here are some screenshots of my hard drives

[boot loader]

timeout=20

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows 2003"/fastdetect

I believe the second entry needs to be multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows 2003 Server" /fastdetect

also, that space between the WINDOW and S in the default line bothers me...

This is mine...:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP PRO SP2 Original (EN)" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows 2K PRO SP4 Original (EN)" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINDOWS="Windows XP PRO SP2 AM RC2 (EN)" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(5)\WINDOWS="Windows XP PRO SP2 AM RC3 (FR)" /fastdetect
multi(1)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Codename LongHorn (EN)" /fastdetect

I don't know what rdisk mean but I guest that you should remove the "1" to put a "0"

also, that space between the WINDOW and S in the default line bothers me...

The "disk" entry is used only in SCSI setups and should always be 0 in IDE configurations.
