Sure I can tell you the set up..But do you really wan to know..LOL
it goes like this
Triple boot
Option 1 Upgrade98 to Win2k this is an upgrade from win311 to 95 then 98 Hence the 
reason for the clean install but some software I use will not install under win2k 
and I don't own the Version of the software that will.

Option 2 Clean Install win2k on a SATA Drive
Option 3 DOS BOOT

Everything is FAT32

4 HD 2 IDE 2 SATA Drives
Active Partion on Drive C
Drive 1 IDE partioned into 6 extended
Drive 2 IDE partioned into 1 primary 8 extended
Drive 3 SATA  1 primary 2 extended
Drive 4 SATA 1 Primanry no Extions

Boot.ini that worked yesterday but not today
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" 
/fastdetect
C:\=MS-DOS 

At presnt I have 3 boot.ini's One called Boot.ini one called bootmine.ini one called 
bootold.ini
That way I can rotate the boot.ini that works.. by renaming..

So there the nightmare..ROFL.. Now aren't you glad you asked..
Cheers
