b0r3d Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 First right click on my computer --> propertiesclick the advanced tabUnder the Startup and Recovery sub heading, click settingsUnder System Startup, click EditUnder the [Operating Systems] tag, is where your boot selection screen is.Each line is for a different OSSimply delete all of them, except the first one which looks like thismulti(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetectSave the file and you're done!

BradBo Posted September 29, 2003 Author Share Posted September 29, 2003 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 fileboot fromc:\windows"Then it goes ahead and boots just fine.Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grijzeduif Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Brad, just check your boot.ini file on your c:I must be like this[boot loader]timeout=3default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS[operating systems]multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetectYou can edit the file with Notepad if you wantMaybe you can set the timeout to 0 or 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0r3d Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
