Problem with booting.

[NetworkAdmin123]

Somehow my boot file was corrupted so I had to use the repair disk and create a new one. Now when I start up windows it goes to a screen where I chose which OS.

1. 1 (This is the new I just named it 1)
2. Windows XP Pro.......(This is the corrupt one)

As long as I choose 1 it boots up fine. My question is how do I get rid of # 2 so it will just go ahead and boot up without asking me this question?

Thx,
Ryan

right-click My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Startup and Recovery - Settings, and click the Edit button in the top panel.

The default boot.ini would look like:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

Now find the entry added to the template above that says after WINDOWS="1" /fastdetect

That is what you want to keep. Delete the other entry below the [operating systems] tagline.

Then change the default= line to point to your "1" entry.
