richardc Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 Try right clicking on My Computer/Properties/Advanced/StartUP and Recovery Settings - then click on the Edit button - and you have the Boot.ini file. I would make a backup of it in case somehing goes wrong.Or you could just open boot.ini (hidden file) with notepad.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FthrJACK Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 as posted earlier...you can get rid of that screen on bootup if you use one OS a lot and rarely use the others...go tostart> my computer> properties > advanced > startup and recovery [settings] > now pick you fave OS from the drop down menu, and untick "time to display list of Operating systems"now when you reboot it will just boot your fave Os, if you want to use one of the others anytime just go back and re-tick the box to get the list back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
