How can I get rid of the boot menu that System Commander created.
Upon boot up, System commander menu shows me all(5)of my partitions as boot items.
(0)
(1) C: Windows Millennium
(2) D: Windows 2000 Pro
(3) E:
(4) F:
(5) G:

I select the first item (0) which brings up the next boot menu that displays the boot menu that Windows creates:
1. Windows Millennium
2. Windows 2000 Pro

HOW CAN I GET RID OF THE SYS COMMANDER MENU???
Where is the file located for that menu and what is it called?

Have you tried booting up off a floppy, performing an FDISK /MBR, and then SYS C:?

That should overwrite the Sys Commander menu and restore control to WinME/Win2K.

Once you have performed the SYS C:, make sure that WinME boots. After that, you will need to boot up off the Win2K CDROM and perform a repair in order to restore Win2K's boot menu.

Hehe, you can't SYS with WinME. :( BOOOO!!! (No real-mose DOS access, remember?)

Your best bet is the fdisk /mbr as it will go to the previous MBR. Hopefully, System Commander only wrote itself once.

If this is system commander 2000 your using you can remove the NT boot loader. When you boot up and you get the sc2k menu you go to alt + setting and there should be a item in the menu about boot and partition. Choose it and then just read the instructions on the page. Just toggle the ones you don't want off and they won't show up on the sc2k menu anymore.

What's up.
edit: Weird display delay. Showed # of reply's but could not access the posts.
Ok now.
Yes it is System C 2000. I tried to use it to resize a 30g partition with Win Millenn. as the only o/s.
Decided to abort the resize and Ghosted everything and then reformated (quick format).
