setup boot

[Chris]

I tried reinstalling windows xp when the setup crashed.
Ever sincei get an option to run xp setup on boot up.How
do i remove this option and make only my current os boot?

Go to Start > Run and type in: MSCONFIG , and hit enter,
Click the BOOT.INI tab.
Next, click "Check All Boot Paths".
This procedure should correct your BOOT.INI file.

Hi Chris,

Your boot.ini file probably looks something like this:

[boot loader]
Timeout = 30
Default=C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect
C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Setup"

Edit the boot.ini file to set the Default= line to be
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS and delete the
C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Setup" line
that is beneath [Operating Systems]. The boot.ini file should now look
something like this:

[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

Save the file and exit. Now restart.
