Hi Guys.

I built a system a few weeks ago and formatted one of the hard drives and installed windows on it. I then proceded to format the 2nd hard disk with the xp disk and then re-formated it again once windows had booted so it was empty. However now when i go to boot up my comp i have to choose which os to boot into, and by default it tries to boot from the os that isnt there. The one that works is second on the list.

To stop this do i have to edit my boot.ini file?

the file contains this

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

Do i just delete the first line in the os section?
