Question answered! How do I delete the boot choice in Windows XP Pro?

[jyates]

Hi All,

I was trying to install Windows XP Pro and got an error during the installation
so I went back and started the installation over.

The second attempt worked but now when it boots I have 2 choices to boot to.

They are both windows xp professional.....

The first one listed boots into windows just fine.
The second one causes an error that makes you have to reboot which brings
you back to the choices again.

Question is...how do you "delete" the boot choices....specifically the second choice
that is the problem?

Thanks for any and all help!

Jim

Edit your boot.ini file.

The easiest way to edit your boot.ini is in control panel>System>Advanced tab. Click the settings button in the startup and recovery section. In the startup section of the window click the edit button. This is your boot.ini file.
