Rabscuttle 0 Posted March 27, 2000 I set my computer up to dual boot into 98 and 2000. I have removed 2000, but I can't get rid of the boot manager. Is there a way to do this without formatting everything? Share this post Link to post
CUViper 0 Posted March 27, 2000 Edit the boot.ini and set timeout=0. This doesn't really get rid of it, but at least you won't ever see it. Share this post Link to post

Rabscuttle 0 Posted March 27, 2000 Thank you for your help I no longer have the boot manager on my system. I knew about fdisk /mbr but the sys c: was new to me. My thanks to you again. Share this post Link to post
DanKick 0 Posted April 1, 2000 SHS: Can you explain what these commands actually do? Share this post Link to post
SHS 0 Posted April 1, 2000 The commands "fdisk /mbr" remove the master boot record & re-creates new master boot record so that the dos bootsector will boot up. The commands "sys c:" make the drive bootable agine it all so know as bootsector. Share this post Link to post
