Re: Removing Dual-Boot screen

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Boot to the Windows XP Recovery Console and issue the fixmbr command to remove the linux boot loader.

I hope you can help me!
I was Dualbooting windows xp professional and xandros(linux) on a seperate partition for a while because i wanted to try out linux..
Now i have decided to just use XP by itself again and merged the partitions did all the cleanups ,defrags and diskchecks.
I also made sure the boot.ini is back to mormal by going into My computer-Properties - advanced - settings - edit......
The BOOT.INI is back to the way it was before.
Everytime i boot up the computer it still offers me to do a Dual-Boot and it uses a screen that was created by linux.
How do i get rid of the remainders of Linux (or Xandros)???
Thanks in advance !!!
