Lost Soul Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 hi ive recently created my new unattended disk because i now have 2 pc's one with a dual core cpu and the other a single corewell any ways,, ive added my altered boot screens for both with the methods described in the guide by msfnand this was my bootscreen.cmd fileFOR /F "tokens=3 delims= " %%A IN (\'REG QUERY "HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS\') DO SET NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=%%Abootcfg /copy /D "Windows XP Professional" /ID 1if %NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS%==2 goto DUALREM ----For Single procbootcfg /RAW "/Kernel=singkrnl.exe" /A /ID 2goto End:DUALREM ----For Multiprocess/Hyperthread procbootcfg /RAW "/Kernel=dualkrnl.exe" /A /ID 2:Endbootcfg /Timeout 0bootcfg /Default /ID 2well the problem here is now when i restart each pc, i get the screen for a few seconds asking which operating system would i like to boot into,, and it gives me 2 choicesnow this screen really shouldnt pop up,, should it ?and i go to my msconfig and click on boot.ini i notice thats theres a extra line that i believe is causing this well the one thats working with the single processor,, is called windows xp professionalthe other line is one that says microsoft windows xp professional,, and it has no kernal in that line,,,,,im not sure how to remove this line, because i cant find the boot.ini file any where on my pcs,, but yet i can find a backup of the boot.ini which is located in a pss folderany ideals on what i could do to fix this ???

Lost Soul Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 forgot to add, that my boot.ini file is not located where its normally at in the c drive, and even with files unhidden, its not there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshi Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 The one that has no /kernel switch is the original default ARC path entry.You can remove an ARC path entry using:bootcfg /delete /ID#If you don't want two entries, then don't copy it and edit.

Lost Soul Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) thank you for pointing that out,, so your saying just remove the copy line and it should be alright for next time ?edit.. well i deleted id 1 and it put me back to my old untouched boot screen,, strange i thought that was the right one to delete,, Edited October 26, 2006 by Lost Soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshi Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 So what happens when you delete ID2?Have you found the boot.ini yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Soul Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 So what happens when you delete ID2?Have you found the boot.ini yet?naa never found the boot.ini but as for testing on deleteing the id 2 well that one works like a charm after i do that,, its strange how they reversed the id's,, atleast thats what it seems,, so now i realy am not sure on how to alter the cmd file and keep it working,, yes i could simply remove the copy command line but will that keep its functions intact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmshah Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 (edited) You could have deleted it from right click My Computer -> properties -> Startup Recovery -> advanced -> Edit. Edited October 29, 2006 by pmshah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
