I decided to remove XP on my machine and reload Win98 second edition.

During boot up, the computer ask to choose which operating system I want to use. I already remove XP but this message keep on poping up every time the system boots up.

How do I remove this message? Hope any of you pros can help.

You still have the XP system files in the root folder of the boot drive.

Boot from a W98 startup floppy.

Browse to the C: folder, and delete the following files:
boot.ini
ntldr
ntdetect.com

Then, run the sys command from the floppy (A:)sys c:

You will be warned that a newer operating system is installed on the C: drive.
Select the option to replace the version on the C: drive with the version on the floppy.

You may need to restore some W98 system files such as:
msdos.sys
config.sys
autoexec.bat

to get everything booting properly.

Using the other OS
Open the Boot.ini File and Delete the option you don't wanna see.
Also you Can Modify the Timeout of this message.

Good Luck
