One of my HDD was asting up the other day, so I tried to make a clone of it on a partition on another drive. I was unsuccessful at that (not sure, maybe software, maybe user :smile: ), so I reinstalled WIN2KPRO on the failed clone partition, after I re-formatted it.

I have removed the bad HDD from the system, but when I boot, I still get a boot menu, asking which OS I want,

1) Windows 2000 Professional
2) Windows 2000 Professional (#1)

I have tried to run <b>fdisk /mbr</b> but that didn't seem to help. Anybody have any other ideas? It still works, its just an annoyance.

Thanks guys..

Go edit the boot.ini file, and remove the version of Win2K that isn't a valid installation.
