How to remove a Dual Boot sequence in Windows XP?!

This trick is very useful if you run more then one OS in your computer. When you start your computer, you have to select the OS that you wanna. But when you don't need one of these OS that you have installed before, you delete them, but the boot sequence still appears at the beginning so everytime you have to select the default OS to start and that's pretty annoying. So in this tutorial I'm going to show how you can remove the dual boot sequence in a few simple steps.

Let's start:
  • Go to My Computer and click the right mouse button and select Properties.

  • Select the Advanced tab and click Settings at the Startup and Recovery section

  • At the System startup section click the Edit button

  • After clicking the Edit button, will appear the Boot.ini text file where you can make the modifications. In the picture below, you can notice that there are two OS, "Microsoft Windows Professional" and "Microsoft Windows 2000". In this case we are going to remove the Windows 2000 sequence, so just select the text(see the picture), delete it and save the document. You are done.
Important: With this method you are not removing the operating system from your computer, so after you have done this steps, go to your hard drive and delete the operating system folder.

Yes, reformat is the solution, but what if you have two OS in two different partitions?! Then you can use this method. You can delete one of your OS and remove the boot sequence from the Boot.ini text file.

Thnx for commenting buddy. Cheers
