Stupid problem

[starwarsdad]

I installed Win2K on an XP machine. Everything went as planned, the drive was formatted and win2k installed just fine. At load up I am confronted with the choice to start win2k or XP home. XP is not on this system anymore. How do I get the XP choice off?

Thanks

Take a look at c:\boot.ini You should find the entry for the XP boot option in there. Just back it up first in case you screw it up...

I looked for a boot.ini file first. There isn't one. What next???

Thanks

There probably is one, its just hidden. Make sure you turn the stupid "Hide files that you will need to access but we dont want you to see" option off

Did that too. Anything else?

One of the guys here at the office firgured it out. The file is "attrib'ed". I have no idea what this means, but it worked. I can see the boot.ini file and make the necessary edit.


Thanks for the help guys!
