I have this very ennoying problem with XP boot up screen: it has two options 1)XP; and 2)Windows DOS(default) . I would like to eliminate the option 2, or the very least, changing default to 1. Does any one know how to fix this. If I ever tried to install Rhat, does this cause any problem for me at all if I ever try to dual boot .
Thanks
Sorry, I was so frustrated with this problem, I did not see the newbies room, where this question belongs, and I do not know how to delete the whole post.
Edit the boot.ini file in c:\ , or what ever drive you have windows installed on. The file is hidden and maybe readonly, so make sure you set XP to show hidden files. Also , right click on the file, and check the properites, make sure it is not read-only. Then edit the file in notepad, and remove the line that pertains to "DOS", or option 2 in your case
right click on my computer, properties.... then goto advanced, click system and recovery, then in there u have the options to change the menu, just select which one u want to boot, then uncheck display for settings to 0
