Re: HDD .dir's and dual boot???

Bop,

boot.ini is the file that controls the boot menu. Normally a hidden read-only file in c:\ (or d:\).

The recommended way to edit is via 'Properties' page of 'My Computer' - on the 'Advanced' tab, hit 'Startup,..' settings and you can 'Edit' the file. Just remove the second boot string. Example here:
Quote:
[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S

[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons
The directory name after 'partition(1)' indicates the directory that OS instance is using.

HTH
