| 166470 | 2003-08-09 23:47:00 | In win98se I installed a dual boot mandrake linux. Lack of disk space caused me to have to disinstall it. I reclaimed the disk space and everything is running normally in windows, but on start up, I still get the windows/linux selection screen. I suspect this is a boot.ini problem, but even after searching the boot.ini thread, I cant find the answer to my problem which is: How do I access boot.ini? (I've checked the show hidden files radio button in explorer, but it doesn't appear) What do I do once I'm in there? If not boot.ini, what else? |

Enter fdisk /mbr at the prompt. It only takes seconds. As with all things, make sure your important files are backed-up first before running this command. Microsoft info on fdisk /mbr: here (support.microsoft.com) |
