Removing Dual Boot Option.
I installed Win Xp on 1 of my drives to dual boot my system with Win 98 which was already installed.Something went wrong & I had to format the drive containing Win XP.
Now when I start my PC it asks me whether to start with Win 98 or XP even when XP is nt installed.If I choose XP it displayes an error message & the system is restarted.
So please guide me that how can I get rid of that annoying option at startup asking me about the OS to start with.I knew how to do it in Win XP but it is nt possible for me to do it in 98.Now i,m running Win 98,how can i remove this.
putting back the dual boot system
i've just read about how to remove the dual boot...my problem was the reverse of that..
i have the dual boot system...but an error occured on bootup...(ntldr is mising)
so i make a copy of that..but when i put it back,,, another error occured
(invalid boot.ini) and (hal.dll is missing)...
and what a big mistake i've done was i reinstall the win98...after reinstalling(w/o formating) it boot on win98,,the problem was the option for the dual boot did;t show on boot....i failed to find boot.ini in win98,,,i'd look the msdos.sys but...i don't know how to edit that...below are what on msdos.sys...
[option]
bootGUI=1
doublebuffer=1
autoscan=1
winver=4.10.10.2222
;
;the following lire are required for the compatibility with other programs.
do no remove them (msdos.sys need to be >1024 bytes).
