too many operateing systems
When i got the blaster worm i paniced and re-installed
windows ... it was on its 1st day out so i hadnt heard of it ..... Now, when i installed it again , i accidently installed it on my storage drive(D:\) instead of my drive for the operateing system (C:\)... I actually did this twice before i got it right , and installed it on the C:\ drive. After i did i deleted all the files in my D:\ drive; but every time i try to start it says theres 2 other operateing systems , which neither will run b/c of missing files........ is there any way to delete all the files for windows on that drive without reformatting? i dont want to loose all my stored files , and they wont fit on my C:\ drive.... Any help greatly appreciated Thanks again , Adam |

too many operateing systems
Go to Control Panel, System, Advanced, Startup and Recovery, Settings. In
the System Startup section, click the Edit button to call up BOOT.INI. Remove the line that references the erroneous installation. If you're unsure of what to remove, post the contents of BOOT.INI here. -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows XP/ Windows Smart Display Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Associate Expert ExpertZone - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
