I have dual boot Windows 95 and windows 2000. I had to re-install windows 2000 but it added another windows 2000 choice in the dual boot selection screen and the old windows 2000 is still there. So I have 2 windows 2000 choices and only the most recend one works. How do I get rid of the old non-functional windows 2000 choice?

Edit the boot.ini file in Win95 and remove one of the Win 2k references. It's hidden so you'll have to unhide your files in Explorer. In order to edit you'll also have to remove the read only attribute.

Well, there was only one Boot.ini and it was on the root of C which is where Windows 95 resides, however I edited in from Windows 2000.

You need to edit the boot.ini on the W2K machine not the W9x machine.

I edited from Windows 2000 but I don't know why I couldn't do the same from Windows 95 as well.
