I Now Have 3 Installs Of Windows Xp Pro and i dont no how to get rid of it. For Some Reason, i guess it never uninstalled fromt he begining. I found the other 2 partitions for the other 2 Windows Xp Professional Boot options. I Deleted THem Both And Now Have only 1 on the C:/ Drive. But Whenever I restart My Computer it still asks me wich operating system to boot. All Help Is Appreciatied As usual, Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeshi Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 In Folder Options Unhide hidden files and folders first and you'll see it in C:\ (the root of C).Remove the Read Only attribute then you can save any changes.Or if you're unfamiliar with editing the boot.ini, go to msconfig > boot.ini > Check all Boot Paths and it'll do the job for you.

soldier1st Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 just use a partition program such as partition magic or use ranish,it will delete the partition and remove the label in the boot.ini file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
