in my boot INI I have 2 windows xp entries and I want to remove the most recent entry.
I want to remove the top one I see when I boot my computer.


in the BOOT.INI which would it be?

Thanks ;)

hey keith,


i havent dealt with the os boot screen in awhile but here goes.

if you jsut want to boot to one of them right away you can set the 'default=' in the boot.ini to your liking and then lower the timeout to like 0.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

the latter is usually the last one to be installed

hope that helps and go to hxxp://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022 for more info.
