A line in my boot.ini is:

I figured out (I think) that rdisk (0) is drive 0 or the C: drive.

Also partition (2) must be the second partition in the C: drive or drive 0.
(Dell-purchased computer that has the XP operation system on the second
partition of C: drive.)

Correct me if I am wrong and what do the other two items "multi (0)" and
"disk (0)' refer to?


This is designed around SCSI notation, not all of it is used in IDE
drives. I believe that the multi refers to the controller number (0
being first, 1 being second, 2 being third, etc.). In IDE drives I don't
think the disk portion is used, so it's always 0.
