Default A dual boot that wont go away.


HI,
i have one hard drive with 3 partitions. I had XP Home on drive C. Later i installed XP Pro on drive E. Then I decided to remove XP Pro. I edited out that OS , in the boot ini . I deleted the contents of drive E. I tought that would eliminate the dual boot window, but i still get the option to select XP HOME or WINDOWS DEFAULT. Is there a way to boot straight into Windows.

Thank You

I solved my problem, i re edited the boot ini and deleted the 30 seconds delay. I do not see the duall boot window anymore.

ahh, a reasonably simply question

right click my computer and select properties.
choose advanced tab
under Start up and Recovery click settings
Set the Time to dispaly list of operating systems to the desired value.
-if 0 is used this menu will be skipped, which is what i believe you are looking for.

let us know how you make out.
