I have an older computer running Windows 2000 Professional which at one time
I made a dual boot system. I've since removed the second operating system
but the boot.ini file still prompts me to select which OS I wish to boot
into. Unfortunately it defaults to the second (removed) OS so I must quickly
select the primary OS or else it won't boot.
This computer is rather old and it does not support booting from a cd. I'm
considering editing the boot.ini file but I'm not exactly how to make the
change. I messed this up before and had great difficulty getting things
back.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated. TIA
