Giving us a little detail would help - like which two operating systems?
How did you install them (which order, and what partition/boot manager are you currently using) -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Beau" wrote in message ...

Sorry about that Noel,
I built a computer for an employee and I prefer ME so I used Power Quest Boot Magic. When I first boot up it says Boot Magic and gives me two options to choose from ME or XP which are on seperate partitions. Only I never use the damn thing so I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of ME without messing up any of his stuff on XP. Can I just delete the partition with ME? If so how do I get there? Oh and I no longer have the Boot Magic cd's :-( Thank You Beau -----Original Message----- We need much more info from you, but here is one possible scenerio: Removing WinME when dual booting with XP Remove a dual boot. #19 http://michaelstevenstech.com/xpfaq.html#19 -- Michael Stevens MS-MVP XP http://michaelstevenstech.com -- Jack E.

Not Noel, but Jack here.
Your desired simplification process is exactly as I originally offered: Removing WinME when dual booting with XP Remove a dual boot. #19 http://michaelstevenstech.com/xpfaq.html#19 -- Michael Stevens MS-MVP XP http://michaelstevenstech.com There are no "Boot Magic CD's". Boot Magic is the boot manager accompanying Partition Magic, a partition manager. The previous vendor of Partition Magic, Powerquest, was purchased by Symantec in Dec, 2003. -- Jack E.

The way I'm understanding that is that it will only work
if both operating systems are on the same partition. But they're on two seperate partitions? Beau -----Original Message----- Not Noel, but Jack here.
