multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="XP Audio" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
wasnt too woried about trying that cause i was only changing the one line for XP Audio
if i change both lines and it aint right then im fooked yeh?
Ok 2 things:
1. if you look at the above code you'll see on the XP home line rdisk(0) that should be rdisk(1) So change that and try it.
2. I think the last line should be edited to this:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect
the No Execute command is worrying me.
So try 1. first and if that still dont work try 2.
dont know if its me _I but 1 and 2 are the same thing

E2A: ahh ok just seen the deleted NoExecute=OptIn
