You can edit the "boot.ini" file on your partition root. Just remove
the entry you don't want. But be careful not to remove the wrong one.
They are in the same order as displayed in the menu. There is no harm
done in leaving it there. However if you installed both Win2k's into
separate folders, you'll probably want to delete the winnt folder for
the one that is not used to save disk space.

Make a copy of the boot.ini before you edit it. First, you need to show
hidden files and folders and unhide protected operating system files.

How do I get to the boot.ini file on the partition root.
I cant find it through the windows explorer. I am asuming
that is not where I am supposed to be looking. Thanks, Ben

Turn "Show hidden and system files" on. Also it is a read only file so
you have to turn that off.
