Boot.ini

[IFORGOT]

Hello all, first post here so please take it easy on me.

I install OSes on a good number of machines and I am trying to automate some of the little things that are repeatative and hopefully, help prevent my mind from going numb.

Currently, my boot.ini has 2 entries.

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows Longhorn" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT /USENEWLOADER

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT

If I don't manually update the boot.ini when I'm doing installs, the list of boot options will get larger and larger. Is there a way to automate this function? I was thinking of hard codeing the boot.ini to always be:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows Longhorn" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT /USENEWLOADER /DEBUG /DEBUGPORT=COM1 /BAUDRATE=115200

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT

Since this is how we set up our machines. Unfortunately, I don't know how I can do this in a cmd file and Longhorn's unattend xml is a bit different.

Any help is much appreciated.
