I had a virus and thought that i might reinstall win XP
Pro. I reinstalled XP Pro and now i have 2 boot options
on start up. DOH!!!!!.
I have gone to the MSCONFIG and selected and checked the
boot ini but it says that it is fine. I want to get rid
of the second boot option but can't seem to do it. please
help as it is really annoying me.

Thanks in Advance.
P.S. i got rid of the virus on the original install.
 
Hello,

Go to Control Panel, System and select the Advanced Tab. Click the Setting
button under Startup and Recovery. Under Default Operating System, set the
boot option you want to be the default. Close the System Properties page.
Next, make a copy of the boot.ini in the root directory. Edit the boot.ini
file and remove the line under [operating systems] that reference the
installation you want to remove. You will need to remove the read only
attribute from the boot.ini file before you edit it.
