Solve : Gettring rid of boot screen?

Answer»

I recently installed the windows 7 beta on my computer with dual booting.

My primary os, windows xp, is on my first partition (C:), and windows 7 was on my SECOND partition (D:). Later on I decided to get rid of windows 7, so being unexperienced and all, I formatted my D partition through windows xp. However, now when I boot up my computer, I still get the screen asking my which os to use. I was just wondering if there is a way to get rid of this screen, without any reinstalling of operating systems.

Thanks


EDIT: I've worked it now using another software... thanks for the help though!Yes, there is...

First, does it show a time delay?
And second, is the default choice your previous version of Windows?

Right click My Computer, go to PROPERTIES.
Click the "Advanced" tab.

System Startup.
Select default OS. Change the seconds to 3, never set to 0! If something goes wrong, this is a nice thing to be able to access...XP professional is the only os listed under default os.

When i boot up my pc, I get 2 options; previous version of windows, and windows 7...

windows 7 is the default there, and there is a 30 sec time delay.....

I tried the boot.ini in xp and check all boot paths, but windows 7 isn't listed there...

Here's what is says.
CODE: [Select];
;Warning: Boot.ini is used on Windows XP and earlier operating systems.
;Warning: Use BCDEDIT.exe to modify Windows Vista boot options.
;
[boot loader]
timeout=3
default=SIGNATURE(12931292)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
signature(12931292)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT

Windows 7 isn't listed there so I have no idea how to get rid of its boot screen...This may help : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022I was just reading over the my boot.ini file and I just realized this :

Code: [Select]Boot.ini is used on Windows XP and earlier operating systems.
I'm guessing windows 7 doesn't show up on it...
