Solve : Problem with two XP installations?

Answer»

I installed WINDOWS XP on two different hard drives, but have since removed one hard drive. But now on startup it still gives a choice between the two O/S, after a few seconds selecting the one that doesn't exist anymore. This results in a black screen with nothing.

How can I remove this selection and boot the remaining XP installation by DEFAULT? EDIT the Boot.ini file to boot to the existing installation as default.Thanks

Little more info - where's the boot.ini file? Boot.ini is in the root of C:

Detailed instructions for editing boot.ini can be found here...

Good luckOr you can just open MSCONFIG, click on the boot.ini tab, and edit it from there.A little READING about edting the boot ini
