Bootup choice screen 2

[Crustyoldbloke]

I recently had to reinstall Windoze due to a file corruption that just refused to be repaired. The new OS is working fine and the old corrupted version, deleted from the HDD. The only downside is that when booting, I get a choice of two OS's, both identical, but only one working.

How can I get rid of the invalid entry on the boot choice screen? Anybody got any ideas?

Kind regards

Use Notepad to edit boot.ini to remove the line referencing the missing OS. Make sure you remove the correct (bad) one.

either edit the boot.ini and delete the old entry or go to my computer-properties-advanced-start and restore (not sure, my system is in german). there you can choose wich system should be started by default.

Thanks guys. I couldn't access the BOOT.INI file even after showing all system and hidden files, so in system start and restore, I just unchecked the box with the list of OS available and now it boots normally.

Kind regards
