Alright, I'll show you my dual boot Boot.ini file, just so you can get a better glimpse of it.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
The NoExecute=OptIn has something to do with DEP (Data Execution Prevention), I have no clue on it, but you could google it for more info.
EDIT : Are you sure you got your "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)" Settings right on the entries?

I figure this much out right now. my home boot.ini is on my second partition of my40 gig ide drive (there isn't much else there. i was planning to install xp 64 bit or xandros there) whereas my other boot.ini is on my sata drive
I'm going to set my ide drive to boot in the bios or I will reinstall acronis Os selector and point it to that drive
edit. I can now boot to whichever os that I set the hard drive to boot from (even though both os are installed on the sata drive), but I can"t get them to show up at boot together
bootcfg /rebuild didn't work either
I guest that I will have to unhook the ide drives to do what I want.

I believe you just have to add the entries. I know the indivual who wrote the application. I will ask him personally how to accomplish this feat.
