Remove old OS boot after upgrade

[Guest]

Greetings and thanks in advance!

I upgraded a Windows 2000 Prof machine to XP SP2 using the XP upgrade
package. Everything works fine in XP. When the machine is booted I get a
choice to boot the new XP OS or option 2 Windows 2000. I would like to remove
the dual boot option and just boot XP directly from the restart.

Edit BOOT.INI in the root of C: to remove the reference to the older system,
make XP the default, and reduce the delay to 0.

Then you can remove all remnants of Win 2K if you're sure it must go.

Fabulous - thank you both for the help. When things go right Sunday AM at a
client's office it is a good thing.

Enjoy the holidays!
