HowTo: Remove Boot Menu

When my D250 boots, it offers me a menu:

Load Earlier version of Windows
Windows 7
Windows XP Setup

I had an unsuccessful Windows XP setup, so this menu item is set as a default. Any ideas on how to remove all items si it will load Windows 7 without offering this menu?

Appreciate any ideas.

 

Bump. Want to know too.

 

Hi there,

Not sure if this will still work, as it's from Win98/2000 but should still stand true!!

You need to edit the boot.ini file. Its a hidden system file on your C:\ drive, and you need to unhide it in order to see it.

If you go to Windows Explorer >> Tools >> Folder Options >>View and then tick "Show hidden files and folders" and untick "Hide protected operating system files"

Now, find c:\boot.ini

right click it, and remove its read-only property if it has one.

Now, open it in notepad (should just have to double click it.)

First two lines read like this:

[boot loader]
timeout=30

Change it to

[boot loader]
timeout=0

Reboot, and you should see no menu at all.

Let me know if this does still work!!

Cheers
