    XP dual bootup

    Anyone know how to get rid of dual bootup? I have dual bootup options at startup, both options are the same "XP professional". I've looked at some tutorials to try and get rid of it, modifying boot.ini etc with no luck, I just end up with 2 options called Default. I've created a boot disk with all the boot files required to start xp. Infact, I've screwed my PC up and can't start it up without it in

            it's prolly ended up in your autoexec.bat file. Look in there and add // in front of the relevant lines.

              do you actually have two partitions installed, or does it just show two boot options? it's all done by editing the boot.ini to set one as the default and erase the rest...

                ^^ Was just about to state the same. Just go and delete the "wrong" instance from the boot options and you should be golden.

                  yea its hard to know which is the wrong one, remove the incorrect one and render your system unbootable... simpler is to add 2 forward slashes = //

                  if your system doesn't boot, go back in, replace the // with the other one

                    It's not that hard to find out. Seek out the "clues".

                      delete your boot.ini file, boot from your XP cd, goto the recovery console & run bootcfg /rebuild
                      It'll write a new boot.ini for you
