how to modify the boot meny
I got a problem with a Compaq Armada notebook (1700).
I had Win NT 4.0 on it before I formatted and installed Win 2000. Now I got both Win NT and Win 2000 in my boot meny.I know you should go to the boot.ini file to delete the Win NT boot. But there is no boot.ini on my C dive!?
How do I delete it?
I guess it could be on the very small partition that compaq use for the BIOS.But I can't find anything...
Thank you!

Or you can just open a CMD window. CD to C:\ and type EDIT BOOT.INI. The file is there, it's just hidden. If you want to see it, type ATTRIB -H BOOT.INI from your CMD window.
Just click Start | Run | cmd <Enter>
c: | cd\ | attrib boot.ini -s -h
make a backup first
copy boot.ini boot.org
edit boot.ini
make your modifications and exit the editor
attrib boot.ini +s +h
reboot your system and see the result
