help with dual boot loader

Recommended Posts

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

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?
