need help with my boot.ini file and it's choices

[patrick]

Heres my problem... I was setting up a dual boot system on
a old computer and ran into a problem while in the middle of
the installation. Now when I boot the machine I have two
options in my boot.ini file. The first choice goes into the
Windows 2000 Pro Setup and the Second choice goes into
Windows ME. At this time I have decided to not setup the
dual boot and just want it to boot in to WinME. Basicly I
just want the computer to boot directly into ME and get rid
of having to choose between the two... I know this is a
easy fix because I have fixed it in the past, but
unfortunately I have forgotten how too... Also is there away
to just get rid of the boot.ini file, sense now I will only be
using ME and not 2000? Thanx!

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:\.
