    How do i edit my Bootup OS menu ?

    I run 3 OS's on one of my puters and i had a failed install on XP. When i reinstalled it i forgot to tell it which drive to installt to so it installed to the wrong one and therefore left the old broken Winxp option in the bootmenu. So is there anyway to edit this ?

    Thanks

    Very true. Be careful what you remove though

    Strange. I did a search for boot.ini and I could only find it in C:\WINNT\pss but it is a backup copy. FIle extension was boot.ini.backup

    Maybe the file is hidden or something I dunno.
