Suddenly I have an unwelcome dual boot...

[David Charge]

Hi - I'd really appreciate some help with this. A long time ago I had a ME
and W2K installed on my PC as a dual boot system. I got rid of W2K but
although I only had ME I still kept being given the option of a now
non-existent W2K. I was advised to type sys c: at the C prompt and this
fixed it, the PC went straight into ME and I thought that was the last of
W2K.

Now, about 6 months later I have installed XP proff on a newly formated
partition (C:) completely erasing ME and suddenly the option to boot up in a
still non-existent W2K has magically returned. Even though there is no W2K
on the machine whatsoever.

Please, please can someone tell me how to get rid of this option?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Very odd, David. Check your settings here:

Go to Start/Run and type in: msconfig
Then go to the Boot.ini Tab and click on Check All Boot Paths. If you
receive a warning about a duplicate path: Do you want to remove, choose
yes.

Or...

Right click the My Computer icon/Properties/Advanced/Startup and
Recovery/Settings/System Startup/Edit.
