Recently i was looking for a way to remove the boot screen off of system which was created by Mandriva linux 2008 which i dual booted with xp pro sp3. The amount of links which google provided showed a lot od drawn out methods to do this simple thing.

So for all you here who sometimes like to come out of the virtual environments like me and dual boot other types of OS. as in my case ifu want to restore your windows to the original Boot screen do this :

(1) Install Recovery Console . if already installed previously, Re install it ( it wont be working after u install linux ) Ntldr error .

(2) Restart. and select " recovery console "

(3) Log into the C:/ etc ..

(4) Run fixmbr when prompted type " y" + Enter same thing with "Fixboot "

And you are done !!
