Thread: Help to remove XP!

Hi
I use Win XP.Few days ago i installed XP sp3.I didn't like it and format the drive.
But the boot screen show that which window you want to boot.

Plz help to remove the selection
:48:

Do you have more than 1 OS in your system.

First, open a command prompt. Click start, then run and enter cmd, then click ok.
Enter the following command to see the boot info "bootcfg /query"
(this will display your boot settings, what you will need is to take note of which boot entry ID you wish to delete.)
Then type the following "bootcfg /delete /id 2
(In this case we have chosen to delete the second OS entry which we noted down earlier from the bootcfg query command.)
Then once you restart you won't get the option to pick what OS you want to load.
The above is good if you uninstalled an OS but XP still queries you which OS to load.

Another way is to delete the entry in Boot.ini file....
Boot.ini is a hidden file and not visible generally.
To unhide it. Do the following:
1. Open My computer
2. Click on Tools. Go to Folder options
3. Click View tab and among the boxes, check "show hidden files and folders" box and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" and also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files".
Hit Apply and OK
4. Now browse to Local Disk C: and rightclick on Boot.ini and choose properties
5. Uncheck Read Only attribute at the bottom, if exists

6.Now open Boot.ini file and u can make changes to it.
Under [Operating System]
Delete the line which says Old OS
7. Save the file and restart the machine.

Its Done!!!
