i have 2 drives in a poweredge server and have server 03 installed by default on disc 0 partition C. i recently installed ESXi bare metal from scratch on the other spindle disc 1, with nothing else on this disc. now when i boot it takes me directly to server 03 w/ no option to select ESXi. do i need to change the boot.ini file to point to the other disc? if so, what partition do i point it to for ESXi? there were 4 Hypervisor partitions created when i installed it. thx a mil.

Have you considered simply changing the physical order of the drives? ESXi really was not designed to work in a multi-boot environment. – Zoredache Jun 28 '10 at 3:55

Here is a good read for dual booting into ESXi and 2003. http://www.legacycode.net/2010/01/31/esxi-3-5-server-2003-dualboot/
