I have the same question, i already formatted the drive with whistler but i still have the dual boot option

i think you can edit your boot.ini file and remove the OSs that you dont want in there. not sure if this is the way to do in in whistler, but it works for other windows versions. be sure to make a backup copy of boot.ini in case anything goes wrong.

i can not find the boot.ini file i am running ME...i did a search..no..showed hidden files..nope

make a boot disk, then boot from it and type "sys c:" that will take the boot manager away, then you can remove the boot manager files from the root.

as pulpp said, create a boot disk in win9x/me. Boot with the bootdisk, get to a dos prompt, then type:

sys C:

this will overwrite the boot record (which holds the part that has the dual boot option screen) with the standard 9x/me loader. Therefore, no more dual boot option 🙂

sys c: might not do the trick if not fdisk /mbr will.
