Default How To? WinXP Boot.ini

I recently had to reformat my hard drive and install 98SE, then I finally
upgraded to XP (Wal-mart only had the upgrade). The win98 install was
installed software (windows OS) only. XP was installed and a dual boot was
set up by the system.

1. Can I remove the dual boot option when the PC starts up?

2. If I can remove the dual boot, since I don't use win98 folder "C" (all XP
is on another drive "D"), can I completely remove the win98 folder?


info and suggestions please

Hi,

1. Yes, just edit boot.ini, a hidden system file on the root of the boot =
partition. It will open in notepad.

2. Yes.
