HI friends
I have one small problem please try to sort it out.
I have win95 and 2000 installed on PC.
recently i formatted my 95 OS but not 2000.
Before formatting it was showing which OS to choose like Windows95 or Windows 2000.
After formatting
it is directly going to Windows95 with out prompting for Windows 2000.
Shall i reinstall again or any trick is there.
please help me in sorting the problem

with regards
sarath

That is beacuse when you re-installed windows 95 it overwrote your Master Boot Record (MBR). The MBR stores the info about which OS to boot into.

So now I told you about the casue of your problem. But I can't help you out because I'm not familiar with Windows 2000. Maybe there is something in the control panel or something about the OS loader thing?
