Dual Boot Problems
I recently tried to do a duel bott with win2000 server and win xp.
I had winxp installed originally. When I setup win2000 I made a new partition.
Now after the install win xp worked but not win2000.
So I deleted the whole partition to uninstall it. But now whenever I start my computer It ask if I want to use XP or Server at the boot screen. How can I get rid of that screen so XP starts when i start my computer.

First, you back up your C:\Boot.ini, make a copy, maybe put on floppy.
You Right click on My Computer, go to Advanced > Startup and Recovery > Settings > Edit.
This is what mine looks like, dont use this exact same one if you dont have Pro.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
Delete the line(s) that refer to W2000
Make sure the Default= line points to your Win XP installation
Save & Exit.
There are articles online that you can print out, and check the Microsoft knowledge base.
This site also had some decent Dual boot articles, and other tweaks.
