Boot partition

[black9]

I have done it before but I forgot how to get ride of that delay when you computer boots up and you can choose the partition you want to boot up on.

You define the delay in the boot manager configuration. It might help if you actually told what boot manager do you use.. Windows? LILO? GRUB? Smart? OSL2000?

if W2K or XP, in Notepad open c:\boot.ini and change the line timeout=30 to e.g. =10 (seconds).

Goofy gui way to do it in xp/2000

windows key + Pause/Break
Advanced Tab
Settings in startup and recovery

That is basically the gui to modify the boot.ini file.

If you want to get rid of one, click edit from the same screen to get to the boot.ini file. Simply delete the duplicate and hope you didn't remove the wrong one.

For extra adventure, modify the file with your eyes closed and try to manipulate it with the power of your chi. Or you know...maybe not.
