need help with booting!

[ericiscool]

no one would post help on the OS part of the Forum and i kinda need help ASAP:

hey i have a machine running 98, and i did the windows install instead of update to install 2000 and now everytime i start up i have to choose between the 2, is there any way to make it start up with just 2000 and i dont have to pick? so i can pres the button and it will just boot up on 2000 no questions asked? is there an easier way than re-installing 2000 as an upgrade? - thats the only way i could think of fixen this lil annoyance.

Edit the boot.ini file. Under [bootloader] you should find the line: timeout=30. Change 30 to 0. If Win 2000 is the default OS, then your system will boot straight into it without showing you the selection screen.
