Where's boot.ini gone?
I have two vista partitions going and I'm trying to name them on boot so I
can say build 5XXX and build 5728. This way I know which one I'm booting into if I forget which comes first. In XP I used to do this with the boot.ini file, but that appears to have disappeared. Anyone figured out how to do this? Thanks!

Tim,
Boot.ini does not exist per say in Windows Vista. You need to use BCDEDIT. There is a whole section on BCDEdit on TechNet found he http://www.microsoft.com/technet/win...19d4af778.mspx Bill F.

If you find bcdedit.exe heavy going download VistaBootpro from
vistabootpro.org. It is easy to use. Of course in My Computer you can give your drives names. Vista won't change drive names but often changes drive letters during installation.
