| 85246 | 2002-10-02 03:22:00 | I have recently updated to windows XP. Prior to formatting the hard drive and losing win98se, I decided to try xp on a different partition. This worked fine but my problem is this. Prior to installing XP on c drive, I formated D (the drive which had the XP installation on it). I then did a new install of XP on C drive. When the system boots, I still get the option of booting to drive D (which obviously wont work because I formatted it). XP on drive C works just fine. How do I get rid of the dual boot screen everytime I start the computer? Any help greatly appreciated. | hinesg (2069) | ||
