how to manage dual boot in xp

Post by Reinhard »

Hi group,
I have the following problem. From an unsuccessful installation of XP I still have the failed setup routine in the dual boot. How do I get rid of it without being forced to completely start all over?
Thanks for any insight.
Cheers,
Reinhard

you will find a file named boot.ini in the root of the boot drive.
It's usualy hidden and read only.
Just remove the uneeded line.

Code: Select all

[boot loader]
timeout=5
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
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional"
