How do I remove XP from the bootloader screen?

[ThePerfectCore]

I had XP on another HDD, but deleted it, because I needed the extra space, and XP didn't have anything I needed that Win2kPro didn't.

As such, I'd like to remove XP from the boot-loader screen as well. I've tried it manually, but the option to boot "Microsoft Windows (Default)" with 3 seconds to decide otherwise won't go away.

How can I get rid of that option for good?

You should be able to take it out of your boot.ini file in the root of the drive W2K is on.

No boot.ini found in that directory. All boot information is in the partition that Windows 98SE is installed on.

Then remove the information in the boot.ini on that directory :p

I already DID that, doofus! :p

[Boot Loader]
Timeout=5
Default=\WINNT
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows"

This is my boot.ini file, and I have no idea where the third option is located within.

I already DID that, doofus!The man was only trying to help you...was the doofus remark really necessary?

[ThePerfectCore]

Yes. Why, yes, it was.

"Doofus! :p" is playful sarcasm.

"Doofus! :mad:" is a mean thing to say.

Don't you love internet smilies?

Remove C:\="Microsoft Windows", and change the Timeout to 0. That will cause it to load Win2k automatically with no menu.

Thank you, YakBak, for contributing to the cause.

Nevermind. I figured it out. And I do *not* want a 0 second delay, I wish to switch to 98SE when I want to.

If we are on the same page, it would be the NTOSKRNL.EXE, but why do you want that removed?
