OS boot question/problem?

I have boot question regarding OS, how do I change which OS to boot first or remove an option.



also the timer to choose which OS to choose is too fastOS boot question/problem?
For windows Xp



-Right Click ';My Computer';

-Properties

-Click ';Advanced'; tab

-Under ';System and Recovery'; click ';settings';

-Click ';Edit';



a notepad will open up after that



now create a back up

-click ';file'; then ';save as';

-then save on a different location where you can easily find it later if needed.



now to edit the settings



To change the Boot Timer:



edit this (# = how many seconds to boot)

[boot loader]

timeout=#



To change which OS loads first:

edit this (# = either 1 or 2 depending on which partition will load first)

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partiti?br>


To delete an OS:



under [operating systems] you will see two lines somewhat like this



multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WI?Windows XP Professional'; /noexecute=optin /fastdetect



one will have partition(1) and the other partition(2)



first test which partition is the one you need by doing finding it out which loads which (see my guide on which OS loads first)



when you find out which OS you'll be keeping, delete or erase the other line



when you boot your system again, the other option will be gone.OS boot question/problem?
Would be helpful to know what your system is and what OS's.



If Win XP:



Log into the install you wish to keep and edit your Boot.ini file.

As for the timer it is usually set to 30sec. by default. This is also changeable in the Boot.ini file when you edit it....





Remove the offending lines from your boot.ini (just get the right

ones), back it up first.



Then remove the extra OS's.

You can Format each partition..select the partition with the un needed OS and delete it.
