tap52384 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 The 3 Windows XP are not in the MBR, they are in the boot.ini file; simply open Notepad to C:\boot.ini and remove the entries for Windows XP that are no longer valid. Be careful not to remove the one that you actually need. Additionally, you may have to remove the "read-only" attribute from the file to actually make changes.

Ponch Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Or an easier way is to disable the multiboot;right-click My Computer, Property/Advanced / Startup and Recovery Setings and untick the 1st box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tap52384 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Or an easier way is to disable the multiboot;right-click My Computer, Property/Advanced / Startup and Recovery Setings and untick the 1st box.True, this will ultimately get rid of the menu from popping up by default, but it will not remove the extra 2 entries. I would recommend that you follow this method, since it is the safest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Or an easier way is to disable the multiboot;right-click My Computer, Property/Advanced / Startup and Recovery Setings and untick the 1st box.Or click the EDIT button, then you don;t need to change the read only attribute, no need to unhide files, just edit and save.
