OS Choice Problem
Hey all,
I just recently built a new machine and put Windows 2000 Pro on it. Thing is, I used a system disk that I created on Windows 98 to fdisk and format it, the usual start stuff. Now whenever I start up, it gives me the choice between: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional and Microsoft Windows I'm assuming that because I used a Win98 startup disk, the machine thinks that there are two different OSs on the machine. (Am I right in this assumption?). Is there a way to get rid of the other option, I only want Win2kPro... Thanks!! |

no problem. i had the same thing happen to me, but i can't really figure out why it happens. i did a fresh install of xp over xp, and it did it, but oh well, its an easy fix
