Thread: Help!!! How to remove OS choice from booting menu...

Hello,

im using OS as winXP. however system is showing older winXP in OS choice menu(which i already formatted that drive.. there is no OS and all).. How to remove it from OS choice menu...

right click on "my computer".click "properties".then click on "advanced" tab.click on "settings" in bottom most column "startup & recovery".click on"edit" & notepad file will come up.it should contain only one line something like this(not necessarily same but similar)

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional"

if there are more than one line like this then you have to remove one of them.which one you should remove is by looking both lines.e.g.my line says multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) which means first hard disk first partition which is C: in my case.do not edit the file unless you are absolutely sure or you won't be able to boot after restart.if unsure then paste all the lines in your notepad file along with details of windows install drive & the one which you format & i will see.

If u r unsure which to delete simply disable the property stating
"Time to display list of operating systems"

Ubuntu is like Windows but Much Faster and Open Source(anyone can get the source code
and make their own OS out of it that means it is free)
