Simple, Simple Boot.ini question


I'm having a hard time grasping how to edit my boot.ini file.
This desktop computer used to dual boot win2000 and win98 but I'm moving away for school and my parents want it to boot only win98. my boot.ini file looks like this:

Quote:
[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Server" /fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows"

I don't even see win98 on there, how can i make it the default? do i need to add a line?

thanks,
mark

the entry for C:\ is the one for win9x. you can change the names in quotes to whatever you want (but with a timeout of 0 you'll most likely never see the menu)
