Below is how you want to make your boot.ini file look.

Add a few lines to your boot file, so that it gives you options when Windows first starts up. In other words, you would select the 3GB line at start up, if you plan to play 3GB switch that session.

Or, you would select one of the other options if you aren't planning to play 3GB that session. You should copy the below into boot.ini . The way I have it set up below it will give you 6 seconds to decide, before the WIndows login screen appears.

Here is what you want. Please copy-and-paste this into boot.ini
below the dots
.

.





[boot loader]
timeout=6
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windo ws XP Professional SP2" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windo ws XP Professional w/3GB" /fastdetect /3GB /Userva=2560







When you plan to play 3GB switch, restart the machine and during those 6 seconds, you need to select the 3rd option above, the one which says "Windows XP Professional w/3GB "

See if that helps.
