Anon-65e40e4a71 0 Posted April 11, 2000 i had win98 and win2k dual booting ok, the i installed WinME beta 2149 over win98, still dual boot worked ok. whilst in winME beta i formatted the drive that Win2Kpro was on, (that was real stupid) i restarted the computer and the dual boot menu was still their so i booted into dos and tried to re-install win2kpro but it won't let me, something about the windows boot loader is incorrect or wrong. firstly how do i get rid of the dual boot menu so that I only boot into winME and nothing else, as if i only have 1 OS? then how do i go about re-installing win2kpro? i know about the files that win2kpro put's on the boot hard drive boot.ini, ntldr, ntdetect etc..... thanks Dave Share this post Link to post

Anon-65e40e4a71 0 Posted May 15, 2000 no u don't have to, just replace your backed up boot.ini file with the one on your harddrive now. That is assuming u have backed it up? Share this post Link to post
