Remove Invalid Entries from Operating System
Selection Menu
A common complaint after
reinstalling XP is the appearance of a boot screen asking the user
to select the copy of XP that is to be loaded, even when there is
only one copy of XP on the system. The traditional method of
removing the invalid entry is to manually edit the boot.ini file,
but XP provides an alternative method that eliminates the danger of
manual editing by using the System Configuration Utility.
To Remove the Invalid Entry
-
Click Start
> Run
-
In
the Open: line type msconfig and click OK to open System
Configuration Utility
-
Select the
tab labeled BOOT.INI
-
Click the
button labeled Check All Boot Paths
-
A dialog box
will open detailing the location of any invalid operating system
locations.
-
Confirm you
want to remove the entry and reboot the system.
