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

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?
