dual boot w/ 98 & xp....stoppin it

[jayc021]

heres my problem...i have xp installed...but xp is thinkin that i have win98 also in my pc. what happen was, when i formated my hard drives, i used 98 boot disk to make them fat32 instead of NTFS. but when i formated them i used the "format c: /s" which installs the system files into the hd. (at least i think it does ) so when i finished installing xp, it showed the boot menu to select my OS. i wanted to know how can i turn that off and just have xp bootup?

You might try editing the boot.ini file.

Open System Properties (Winkey + Break) / Advanced Tab / Startup and Recovery Settings button... there's an Edit button there.

Probably a good idea to back up the boot.ini file first, though

In that edit area you can just pick you main OS to boot right up, and turn off the seconds it requires on the boot screen.
