Hi All,
I went through 1 1/2 win XP pro instalations b 4 I got it to work, so when I completed the one I deleted the 1/2 straight from the HD but when I boot it still gives me the menu between two winXP's. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this?

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure I understand your problem given your incoherent jibberish :) , but I believe you're referring to removing the option to boot to a second Windows installation.

Right click on My Computer while logged in as an admin, then on the Advaned tab. The third button down should be Settings. You can now modify the startup settings and change the boot menu to your liking.

Alright, I'll try to keep my "incoherent jibberish" to a minimum:
Thanks, it worked.

No problem, my post should have been more clear.

The options on the menu are stored in the boot.ini file (in C: ). You can remove entries directly from there if you want. I think you can also use msconfig to edit the boot.ini file.

edit: canged C:) to C: ), I hate smilies!

Hmm...regarding your avatar...your glasses look intergrated :) You don't happen to work for a cheap PC manufacturer do you?
