Re: Removing Dual Boot?...

This is what's in there. What do I remove?

Edit the boot.ini file in the root of the boot drive to remove any
references to Win 2008.

I have WinXP Pro as my main OS, and I had installed Win2008 on a second
drive and a dual boot menu was created automatically.

I bought a new board and stuff to dedicate this to Win2008 so I removed
the second, but the dual menu is still there and I would like to know how
to remove it and restore back the normal.
