When my dad first starts up his comp after it posts and bios reads a message pops up

Please Select The Operating System To Start:
MS Windows 2000 Pro
MS Windows 2000 Pro

He can highlight either one but he wants to know how to get rid of this at start up

Thanks

Get a new Boot.ini file

This is common if you were trying to alter the boot screen. You can either get a new boot.ini file (could possibly have a virus) or try and edit the boot.ini file. First make a copy of the original and rename it. It should be located in the Main part of your hard drive. ex: C:. The last line should say something like "WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows 2000 Pro" /fastdetect" it should go away if you remove everything after the word fastdetect.

Hope this helps, I can check my win2k pro machine tomorrow if u need anything else.
