I installed WinXP Pro to my C-Drive (use to had WinME) but I didn't save that dam boot-file so now my Win2000 Pro in D-Drive does not appear in boot-up list...

Anyone know how should I modify boot.ini file in root of C-drive ?

Watch it! If his D: drive is a second HDD then that won't work. Go read up on boot.ini on MS Technet before tweaking.
