Boot list

In my boot list I have 2000 pro setup, this is because I tried to reinstall 2k from 98 when in a boot loop in 2k. Anyway to remove this? TIA busterb

 

Is it listed in c:\boot.ini?

 

Thanks, yes it is. Delete it? busterb

 

You can certainly remove a boot line from the file. Just make sure you have the 3 usual ones (2K, 2K-VGA, 98) remaining and set the one you want as default.

Do you have any other residual from the failed install on the PC?

 

Thanks Newt. Not sure about the leftovers. Looked in temp. folders in 98, nothing. Anyother places I need to look? TIA busterb

 

Extra windows folder possibly. Duplicate NT system files in C:\ possibly. Left over registry entries probably (but don't know right off hand where to tell you to look) that I wouldn't worry about unless you continue to have problems.

 

TNX a meg. All ok now. Am thinking about doing an over lay of 2000 & see if it will fix my send to folder, which I have a post about all ready. I got away w/this once. Comments please.

Comment: Good Luck.

Suggestion1: Make REAL sure you got a backup of anything you are fond of.

Suggestion2: Why not try SP3 first. It is huge and my guess is that it replaces most of the existing windows files with updates.

 

Newt I had just dloaded sp3, was trying to make up mind to try2k again or update. Read your post & updated. Still no mail in send to folder & now no IE in add & remove programs. Get an error when I click on A&R win comp. "Unable to open netoc.inf" busterb
