VaxoP Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 When my computer starts up, a damn window shows up put there by linux (which is installed on a partition with no drive letter, so i dont even know how to remove it), with options "linux, windows, floppy, failsafe). if i select windows, it gives me my old boot options of windows 98 or xp I just got a new hd, and i want to install windows on that one, and making it start up by deafult with no options at startup.. I want to still use my old drive to transfer things i need as i use them on my new computer, but eventually id like to remove my old drive. My question is, how can i stop the startup things from showing up? I just want to laod windows on my new drive with my old drive in as well, without the options at startup.. anyone know?

You can change your start up options in the system properties on the advanced tab. see example... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM5K Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 He's got something loading BEFORE the windows boot. I think just making the new drive the master would do it wouldn't it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
