ive recently installed 2 operating systems on my ccomputer and it tells in in the booting menu to choose from one of them. now ive deleted one of them and it still wants me to choose, how do i remove this?

os installed: xp home sp2, xp pro hebrew

os deleted: xp pro hebrew
 
post the contents of a file called boot.ini to this thread and we will tell you the line you need to remove
 
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
 
Start --> Setting --> Control Panel --> System --> Click on the advanced tab --> click on settings tab under Startup and Recovery.

select your default OS there.
if you don't want the OS menu to appear then uncheck "Time to display list of Operating Systems:".
 
Or You can

You can edit the boot.ini file in the root drive that your o/s is installed on. i.e. C:\boot.ini.

You won't be able to see it unless you change your folder options to display system files. You will see the list of operating systems in there such as:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microso ft Windows XP" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microso ft Windows XP" /fastdetect

Just delete the ones you don't want to show up. Better make a back up copy of the file first though.
