Win2k Partition question

[Arkitech]

Does anyone know if it is possible to delete other Windows installations from wIN2K?

THANKS

Are you talking from within Win2k or when setting up Win2k initially?

 

[Arkitech]

From within Win2k

If it's win95, 98 or ME you can just delete the windows directory. You may also have to edit your boot.ini file if you are dual booting. Be sure to make a backup of your boot.ini file before messing with it.

How do I identify which directory is 98 or Win2k?

 

[dcdomain]

Well, for win98/me, isn't is just plain WINDOWS, and for Win2k, isn't it WINNT? I'm thinking this is what LordSandMan meant...

If someone does this, will that CHOOSE OS screen pop up anymore? Or will you have to go into that BOOT.INI and delete something from there too?

Lastly... I don't want to have to choose everytime. Is there a way to change the 30 seconds to 1 second? My friend told me he did this, but he's not here for me to ask about it right now...

If "Windows" is not "Windows", you'll have to figure out which directory you installed it, shouldn't be hard, just do a search for the widows\system file or something.

To change the boot up screen, go to Control Panel/System/Advanced/Start Up and Recovery. You can cahnge the timing and get rid of the pop up menu. if that doesn't work, go in and edit your boot.ini to remove "Windows". As mentioned, back it up first. Make sure you have a boot disk or something in case you need to get into DOS and edit anything.

dcdomain is correct as far as the WinNT and 98/me directories.
