Need help getting rid of 2000 choices.......

[Arnkell]

I had done a dual boot on my machine with ME and 2000 pro. Like an idiot I suppose, instead of deleting the 2000 partition with a boot disk I formatted the drive through ME. Now each time I start up I still receive the choice to boot up to 2000 or Microsoft Windows. How do I get rid of this? I am anxious to get my copy of XP on that partition so I can try it out but I don't want to do that until I can figure this out. Ideas anyone?

i know under 2000 or xp, you can disable the boot menu under system/advanced (winkey + puase/break) and then startup and recovery, but it has been so long since i used me, i am not sure if the same option is in the same place...

I think I understand what you mean but I'm not sure why. So you are giving up on 2000 and going back to ME?

That's crazy!! Hehe, but if you want to get rid of the 2000 boot loader, use the command

fdisk /mbr

in WindowsME to rewrite the master boot record and take off Windows 2000's boot option.

silver <-- still recommends 2k

No silver my friend, I am not getting rid of 2000 for ME but getting rid of 2000 for XP. I may not have made that clear in the first post. I just never use 2000 because I have actually had no problems whatsoever out of ME and want to replace 2000 with XP so that I can fool around with it.
