Hi all from a newbie,
I have just watched:
Remove Windows 7 or Vista from a dual-boot configuration with the Bootsect command
I cannot follow the instructions because I do not have a Windows 7 CD as I downloaded it from Microsoft when it was available pre-release.
I downloaded it to a slave HDD, which I have now removed from the PC.
The dual boot option is still showing up and if I am too slow, the PC reverts to Windows 7 option.
I have altered the boot.ini to read:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP Professional” /FASTDETECT
from:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP Professional” /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN
but this has not made any difference to the dual boot option appearing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If the solution appears somewhere else on the site, I apologise because I only registered today.
Thanks in anticipation.
