Don't want daul boot screen.

[BradBo]

I did a partial install of my XP and now Iget the b/w daul boot screen.

How do I remove it?

First right click on my computer --> properties

click the advanced tab

Under the Startup and Recovery sub heading, click settings

Under System Startup, click Edit

Under the [Operating Systems] tag, is where your boot selection screen is.

Each line is for a different OS

Simply delete all of them, except the first one which looks like this

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

Save the file and you're done!

Thanks it worked great.

The only strange thing now is if I re boot I get another b/w screen that says,

"invalid boot ini file

boot from

c:\windows"

Then it goes ahead and boots just fine.

Brad, just check your boot.ini file on your c:

I must be like this

[boot loader]

timeout=3

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

You can edit the file with Notepad if you want

Maybe you can set the timeout to 0 or 1

Yep. Thats what i do. Set the timeout to 3 seconds. That way there is enough time if i want to change o/s's, otherwise it doesnt delay my normal boot up for very long.

Boot with windows boot diskette and type in command prompt:

fdisk /mbr

to clean your PC mbr (master boot record)

Above solutions will work but your mbr is not cleaned up.
