XP Queries which OS to Load

If for example you have uninstalled some if not all OS

You will get XP asking which one you want to install

This can be corrected and other benefits in start‐up OS as follows:‐

First, open a command prompt. ( Using Start and Run ) as follows:‐

Start, > Run in the box type without the quotes “ cmd”

Click OK.

Type at the chevron ( > ) without the quotes ʺbootcfg /queryʺ

This will display your boot settings

Now you will need take note of which boot entry ID you wish to delete.

( Make a note of it and save it )

Then type at the Chevron the following ʺbootcfg /delete /id 2” Note the spaces

(In this example I have chosen to delete the second OS entry which I noted down earlier from the bootcfg query command.)

Then once you restart you wonʹt get the option to pick what OS you want to load.

The above is good if you uninstalled an OS but XP still queries you which OS to load.

This is a good way to Delete an OS entry on start up using boot.ini

Remember you can put the command back if you did as suggested made a note of it
