A quick question about Boot.ini

If the OS you want to NOT show up is the one in the "default" line then you need to change that line to the one you DO want which I'm guessing from your post is the other OS listed as XP Home.

If this is correct then your file should read as follows:
[boot loader]
timeout=15
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

Then you can also change the Timeout to 0 and you shouldn't get any choices at all.

If you think I have misunderstood which operating system you want to load do not change anything. A little more clarity as to which one you want to keep for sure would be helpful.

Hmmm... After editing it again (with what you suggested) It STILL has an option entitled Windows (Default) in the startup screen. And, it's the default option - so i can't disable the choice selection. The only difference is now Windows x64 won't start. Any ideas?

**EDIT**: I checked my Laptop's boot.ini (It only has one OS) and, it's almost identical to what my original boot.ini was <i>except</i> it lists "rdisk(0)" instead of (1) like my PC and under the "timeout" entry, it lists "patition(1).<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by Cody_7 on 09/24/05 05:49 AM.</EM></FONT></P>

On which OS is your boot.ini file located?
