    Thank you for the reply, at this time I am only interested in fixing the boot record on the windows drive. As for the dual boot, I will resort to booting Solaris from bios when necessary. Tool bars are gone now as are the MySpace references.
    The following (per your instructions) is very wordy but I am sure you can make since of it :suspiciou.


    [boot loader]
    timeout=30

    Open boot.ini again and edit it, so it looks like this:

    [boot loader]
    timeout=30
    default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft
    Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect

    Go File>Save

    Restart computer.

    Windows XP Home Edition?? I have Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3 will that make a difference? Sorry late to reply, very busy week this week.

    That wording is not crucial, just an info, but you can edit it, so it says:
    "Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition" /fastdetect

    WOW... if I weren’t so old I would want to be like you when I grew up. If I knew half what you know, I would likely not be scared of this, http://multiboot.solaris-x86.org, to the point of taking notes on everything as I read it. However, I am considering Ranish Partition Manager this time. But I am sure that is another thread. Thank you very much for all your help in this, you have been remarkable.
