I installed windows 7 on a seperate partition on my d drive. Xp is installed on c. Everything worked fine and had the choice to boot to either xp or 7. I decided to get rid of the win 7. I formatted the ppartition from xp through my computer. When i reboot i still get the option to boot to win 7. Heres what my boot ini reads from xp. ;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=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 Any suggestions? as i have multiple friends with the same or nearly the same issue.
Ok booted with an xp64 disk. Deleted that partition, formatted and installed xp64. that got rid of the win 7 boot screen. Problem solved..
and that is why i love frag. "fuck it...no answer in seven hours so nuke and boot" A discussion about the Bootcfg command and its uses Vista/7 bootloader editor: http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 removing vista. should also work for 7 as they use a similar loader.
hehe yeah frag gave me that advice earlier tonight. So I am gonna work on it over the next few days to see if I can't get it working again.
