    Sounds dumb, but I was going to put a second install of win2k on a second hd. changed my mind- AFTER setup was installed on the system. now, every time i reboot, the puter wants to go to setup. I've changed the setting so that default boot is now my reg win2k install, but would like to remove the choice as well as all the setup files. Anyone know how?
    Thanks,
    Wolf

    Probably the easiest would be to completely install it. Then remove the entire folder it created and edit the %systemroot%\boot.ini file to remove the line that points to the second install.

    Boot.ini, in case you've never messed with it, is a simple text file. Hidden so you'll have to unhide it to edit but then notepad or any other pure text editor and remove the offending line.
