We have a case with two operating systems Windows XP installed on the same partition. When you start the computer, the black screen we are asked what operating system we want to enter.
If the installation of the two operating systems was done "by mistake" (it also happens that installation of Windows xp directly from My Computer :)), we can choose a basic system to use, and we can choose the other system uninstall / delete.
How we can delete an operating system Windows XP if we have two systems installed on a single batch.
1. First we have to decide what Windows XP stop installed on the PC and check the folder where it is installed Windows The XP we want to keep. To see what the folder is Windows, open Run box and type “% windir%”. Enter or OK.
2. Check in the top bar a Windows Explorer which is the system partition and folder.
In our case C:\WINDOWS is the operating system folder we want to keep.
Go to C: folder and delete the operating system that we want to eliminate. Its name is usually WinNT.
3. Now we will have to make it disappear OS removed from boot menu. The black background that appears when you start your computer. To do this you need to edit boot.ini.
Press the keys: Windows + Pause / Break to open System Properties. We go to the tab "Advanced"And we click on the button"Settings"On Startup and Recovery.
4. Click on the button Edit to modify the boot.ini (before making changes is better to save a txt original lines.) Deletes eliminated lines operating system and keep only those of our system. In the screenshot below marked with blue lines above system preserved.
We save the file boot.ini, set time “0” to “Time to display list of operating system”And click OK.
I restart the computer.
After the restart, the operating system will automatically load Windows XP your choice
