Unwanted dual booter

[GazNofx]

Hi,

I recently attempted to install a fresh copy of Windows XP but ran into problems detailed by my post below. However, I have now managed to sort out my original XP install and so do not need to perform a fresh install. However, on boot, I am still presented with two options....Windows XP Pro and Windows XP Pro Setup. Is there anyway I can remove the Setup option?

Thanks.

Either find and edit boot.ini in notepad, or do it through control panel > system > startup and recovery, which will edit the same file but with point and click.

rightclick my computer->properties->advanced->startup and recovery

you can either remove the tick on "time to display list of OS" or you can edit the boot.ini

EDITING THE BOOT.INI INCORRECTLY WILL STOP YOUR SYSTEM BOOTING

Cheers guys, can someone point what exactly needs to be deleted here, cheers...

[Boot Loader]
Timeout=5
Default=C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Setup"

Is it just this line? C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Setup"
