I was in the middle of reinstalling win2kpro when I realized that I didn't have my CD Key and I stopped right in the middle. When I restart, I am given the option of selecting either win2kpro or the setup (as if I had dual-booted). Any way to get rid of this?

edit c:\boot.ini and remove the line containing "setup"

you may have to enable show hidden/system files if you haven't already. also the file maybe readonly and you need to unset that (properties)
