Control Panel|System|Advanced|Startup and Recovery, choose the correct
System Startup option as default, then you'll need to delete the options you
want removed from the boot.ini
Explorer|Tools|Folder Options|View, then radio button for "Show hidden files
and folders", then uncheck the box for "Hide protected operating system
files" to locate the files in the system partition.

| I have a similar problem, except that we installed the second version onto
a separate partition. Now even though we have deleted the separate
partitition, the system still finds two versions of Windows 2K. Of course,
when you try to access the one that was in the partition that is now gone,
it gives an error about the kernel. Any advice as to how to get out of this
one?
