Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / November 2004Deletion of dual boot on hard drive
Seeking advice: Have Windows ME installed and booting up from C drive Have hard drive with multiple partitions Windows XP Prof boots from E partition Requirement: Do not need to boot up with Windows ME in future How can I safely delete the windows files on the C-Drive and eliminate the startup menu that asks which OS would I like to boot up with? Many thanks, Van van@yon.com You can edit boot.ini to remove the option to boot to Win Me after which, having booted to XP, you can delete the Windows folder however be careful about deleting files in the root of C: such as ntldr and ntdetect.com if this is your boot drive.

Mike, I could not find the "boot.ini" file anywhere in order to edit it. I have tried to search my entire harddrive but cannot find boot.ini I only found a backup copy "boot.ini.backup" Where is this file supposed to be located?

By default boot.ini is a hidden system file so you need to enable Explorer to see such files. SignatureMike Maltby MS-MVP mike.maltby@gmail.com |
