Hi guys. I have this slight problem. I installed Windows 2000 rc1,and it was working ok. But then I deleted and reinstalled. And the second time, it didn't recognize my sound card and Voodoo 2 cards, so I uninstalled it again (how do you unistall properly. ohh sorry, iI forgot to tell you that it dual boot on a win'98 partition) Any ways now when it goes into the boot screen ,where you can select what O/S you wanna boot into, it gives me one win 98 option , and like 4 lines for windows 2000, so my question is how can I get rid off the extra lines on the boot screen. It's awful to see so many lines. This is how my O/S boot screen looks:
windows 98
windows 2000
windows 2000
windows 2000
windows 2000
any one with helpful info. would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advanced.

In the root of your C: drive, you'll have a file called Boot.ini
Edit that and take out the extra lines.

Exstreme your the man!!!
that worked beatiful. Now in regards of my other question, how do I uninstall properly let's say windows 2000 when is installed in the same partition as my win 98. Usually what I do is just delete the "Winnt" directory, I know thats not the proper way to do it, but that's the only way that I know. Any ways thanks alot again for your answers. Thanks(again) Ekstreme.

well, at this stage, the only real way to uninstall properly, would be to format. IF you MUST have a dual boot system man, make another partition and have them seperate so you CAN format if needed without causing any probs to the other installed OS(s)
BTW get your hands on a newer build man, RC3 if you can. This might solve your problem of needing windows 9x installed also
