Remove multi OS menu from startup
Hi I have 2 different comps. Both are XP Pro. Both have got the same Boot.ini. as below.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
However if one starts OK, the other still offers that option of 2 (Wingows XP Pro... and Windows (default)).
If matters here is how I ended up having this issue. I mounted a new drive on that problematic computer and installed a new instance of XP there. Removed that dive later on, but as you may know, after installing that new instance, Boot.ini was modified as below.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer
As you can see above, although I've removed the second line, I still keep getting this annoyance.
