How do i get rid of dual boot menu

Guest

Hello.

I upgraded a WINXP Home to WIN XP Pro SP2. When machine starts, it asks if
i want to boot with XP Home or XP Pro.

How do i change it so that it doesn't ask anymore. It just goes right into
XP Pro ?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony

the easiest way is to go to my computer (rightclick) > properties > advanced
startup & recovery settings : now select which os to set as default and
decrease time to "0" (zero) seconds that shd do it. u can also do the same
with editing the boot.ini file but this is the easy n lazy way lol.

Hope this helps..,

Check All Boot Paths

Start | Run | Type: msconfig | Click OK |
Boot.ini tab | Check All Boot Paths button |
A dialog box will open detailing the location of any invalid operating
system locations | Confirm you want to remove the entry and reboot

[[Check All Boot Paths - This button will check the boot paths for all
operating systems listed in the BOOT.INI to ensure they point to a valid
operating system. ]]

If there is only one you will get:
It appears that all BOOT.INI lines for Microsoft operating systems are OK.

A dialog box will open detailing the location of any invalid operating
system locations.

Similar to this...
-------------------
It appears that the following line in the BOOT.INI file does not refer to a
valid operating system:

"multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional " /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn"

Would you like to remove it from the BOOT.INI file?
