Undoing a Dual Boot System

[Guest]

Im currently dual booting window 2000 and windows 98. I have decided that 98 is useless to me now and needs to be removed. They are both on the same hard drive, but diffent partitions. I could wipe the hard drive but I want to be sure the option to choose it is removed from the boot screen.

In Windows 2000, under Properties of My Computer, there is an option whether to show or not show the bootup menu.

It's easy, go to your "system drive" (the drive the machine first looks to to boot from, not nessisarily where the winnt folder is) and open up the boot.ini file. Make sure you have show all files and show system files on under folder options. Be careful with this file. If you mess it up you won't be able to boot. All you have to do is find the line that was "Windows 98" and delte the whole line. Save the file and voila. Disabling the menu at startup dosen't get rid of the line in the menu it justs hides it. Good luck!
