Re: Multiple Windows Installations to pick from startup screen

noverusn wrote:
Through having to reinstall Windows several times due to large
hardware changes, a RAID failure, and lastly just wanted a fresh
insall, I now have 3 "Windows XP" to chose from at startup. There
really is only one installed, as I have manually deleted the system
files from the other partitions/drives that are the older installs.
I would like to make it so either there is just the one correct
install to pick, or better yet, not have to pick anything to get
windows started. Of course, if I wait 25 seconds or something like
that, it will then boot to the top choice... Any help is much
appreciated!!
