2 OS

[Guest]

I just installed a new Win2000 Pro on HP Pavilion computer from scratch. It
used to have WinXP Home. The only problem I'm having is, when it starts it
shows 2 operating systems Win2000 and WinXP on DOS screen and I have to
choose the Win2000. I partitioned and formatted it's HDD, WinXP no longer
exist. How I can remove it from the DOS screen?

Go to Start > Run and type: MSCONFIG , and hit enter.
Click on the BOOT.INI tab and then click on "Check All Boot Paths"
to delete incorrect boot paths.

It's Win2000 Pro, there's no such command 'msconfig', what it could be for
win2000

I can see how Carey got misled: You posted your question
in a WinXP hardware forum, even though it has nothing to
do with WinXP or with hardware . . .

Use notepad.exe to edit the hidden file c:\boot.ini, then
delete the selection lines you do not want, and set the
timeout to 0.
