W2k cannot find boot.ini 3

[dreamer1]

I had to install w2k Pro 3 times before I could get a good install. Now every time I cold boot my machine it comes up with a select OS.I have tried invain to find where this is coming from. Can anyone tell me where this information is sitting and how to get to it.I do not have a boot.ini, it must be someware else.
Thank you for any help you may provide.

If you're getting a boot menu, I believe your "boot.ini", is just hidden? Regardless, right-click "My Computer", choose "Properties", go to the "Advanced" tab, and un-check "Display list of operating systems...".

To access the boot.ini you must do the following.
START>RUN and type attrib boot.ini -r -h -s
then hit enter. Open up notepad and go to open. On the C:\ drive type boot.ini and enter.

Once you are done and saved the boot.ini go back to START>RUN and type attrib boot.ini +r +h +s
and hit enter. REMEMBER, always update your ERD before making ANY changes to the boot.ini file.

BUT, do as a073235 stated. Its much easier. (But not as effective)
Either will get rid of the boot menue James Collins
