Master XP system remembers there was a slave....

[William B. Lurie]

I had a backup system on a Slave drive, removed the Slave
Drive, and now when I boot the Master, all alone and
properly jumpered, it starts up giving me a choice of
one system or the other. Sure, I can choose this Master,
but is there a way I can delete a line that's offering
this non-existent option?

Do a Google search on "edit boot.ini"

Okay, Bobby, here's what's there:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect

How do I modify this?

START, RUN, MSCONFIG
Hit the BOOT.INI tab, hit the "Check all boot paths"
button

Gracias, Diaz. Went there, found the unneeded line,
deleted, rebooted, starts up now without the extra option.
