Battling OSes

[Phil]

Our home pc uses the ME OS.

We accidentally loaded some of Windows 2000 professional
from one of other computers. Now our pc wants to load
2000 but it's incomplete. If we catch the stat-up quickly
we can boot with ME.

How can we delete the 2000?

Thank you

You can boot with your WinME startup disk and issue the command
sys C:
this will rewrite the boot sector, then you can delete these files boot.ini,
ntldr, ntdetect.com, bootsect.dos, pagefile.sys and possibly ntbootdd.sys
from the root of the System partition C:\., then you can delete the Windows
2000 boot partition or \winnt directory (whichever the case)
