Hi;
I have a HD in 2 partitions, and had dual boot OS -WinXP & WinXP Pro.
I have since gotten rid of WinXP.
But on Boot it is still offering me a boot choice:
Select OS
Microsoft Windows XP Pro
Microsoft Windows

I'd like to get rid of the 'boot choice' so I can fast boot into my only
existing OS -WinXP Pro.
This is what is in my Boot.Ini

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="microsoft windows XP
professional"/noexecute=optin/fast detect
C="MICROSOFT WINDOWS"

What should I delete from the Boot.Ini?
Your advice is appreciated....Lyn
 
Right click my computer, properties, advanced, startup and recovery, settings
button, see system startup, To edit the startup options file manually, click
edit..

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

The above is what you want to see..
Hope this helps
