go into the boot.ini file in the root of C and delete the line of the one that doesn't work.

Save it on a floppy first in case you pick the wrong one.

And make yourself an NTFS boot CD if your disk is NTFS.

I couldn't find the Boot.ini in the root of drive c:

It isnt exactly the same, as I have windows 2k, but its very similar, and you should be able to find it.

Instructions for win 2k:

right click on my computer, go to properties
goto the advanced tab
Startup and recovery
uncheck the box that says display a list of operating systems for x seconds
OR simply decrease the time

And make yourself an NTFS boot CD if your disk is NTFS.

Are these specific to each system?
What's the easiest way to make one?

Google for Bart PE.
