| 292841 | 2004-11-16 09:14:00 | Hi all, I recently decided to embark on customising some more tricky parts of WinXP and put in a new boot screen using the "add another version of the OS to boot.ini so that if it screws up you have a backup" way of doing it. This worked fine on my main PC but when doing to same thing on my laptop I found it asks which OS I want to use when I startup which is too annoying to keep it there if I can't set the new boot as a default when starting up and just leaving the other as a safety net. Can this be done? Why did it only do it on my laptop? Both PC's run WinXP home edition and are fairly new (probably around a year each). Thanks a lot :) |

| 292843 | 2004-11-16 09:30:00 | Don't really know what you are trying to achieve here but you can either just delete the second (or first) OS entry from BOOT.INI and you wont get a prompt or just change the timeout setting for selecting the default option which is also a line in BOOT.INI I wouldn't bother playing with it unless your dual booting with another OS. |
