Courtesy of REBOOT (Jim) See Above

alber,

The following info was supplied by reboot (Jim) in another thread (see above).

Just edit boot.ini in notepad.
It will look something like this:

[boot loader]
timeout = 30
default = multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS = "Microsoft Windows 2K Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS = "Microsoft Windows"

Make it look like this:
[boot loader]
timeout = 0
default = multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS = "Microsoft Windows 2K Professional" /fastdetect

In other words, just remove all the stuff relating to the second OS.
DO NOT change the numbers inside the brackets () !


According to Jim NT, Win2K and Win XP operate with the boot menu so you may be stuck with it. But I think, also according to Jim you can change the above timeout value from 30 to 0 and your system will default to Win 2K and go straight on in. I have changed your edit end result to reflect this.

I don't have a Win 2K system so I can't test this.

See how it goes.
