Boot Screen Shows Windows 2000 Professional Twice

[Guest]

I recently performed a reinstall of Windows 2K Prof on a workstation. Now,
when I cold boot the machine it asks me to select an operating system, but
the two choices are both Windows 2000 Professional. I had this happen once
with Windows 98 and found an article in the Knowledge Base that gave me the
registry line that needed to be corrected. However, I haven't been able to
find a similar instruction for Win 2K. Can anyone provide me with the
instructions?

You can edit the boot.ini file and remove the duplicate entry or simply do this:

Control Panel > System > Advanced [tab] > Startup and Recovery [button]. In the
System Startup section, select the configuration that boots properly from the
drop down list.

Uncheck "Display list of operating systems.....". Click on OK till you're out.

If you prefer to edit the boot.ini file, see this article for details:
