Paul03 Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 I am dual booting with windows 98. I have already installed Xp, and am using the dual boot to pick XP or 98. I need to reformat and then reinstall XP because it installed itself in a tempory folder. If I start the setup in windows 98 again so I can use the dual boot, is it going to give me another choise for windows XP, when I boot up, or will it just let me use the old one. My friend thanks it will leave the old windows Xp listing but add a new one for XP from the reinstall. Does anyone know what I should do. Sorry if this is so confusing.

Khujo Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 you will need to remove the line in c:boot.ini similar to: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect that will take care of the second listing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul03 Posted September 25, 2001 Author Share Posted September 25, 2001 so do I do that in windows XP before I restart it and go into win 98 to begin the new setup of XP, or do I do that in windows before I begin the set up(since XP is on drive D, and windows 98 is C), or do I do that in XP after I rerun the setup from 98, and I have made it all the way back into windows XP and sucessfully installed it?

Paul03 Posted September 25, 2001 Author Share Posted September 25, 2001 This is what my boot loader in windows 98 says. [boot loader] timeout=10 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)TEMP [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)TEMP="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect C:="Microsoft Windows" so I need to chagne the default , if so what should I change it to?
