This solution is only available to members.

Here's how to complete the task in a few steps:
1) Edit your boot.ini file. Remove the line that ends with "Microsoft Windows 2000 Server".
2) If your default OS is the Windows Server, you should edit the line starting with "default=". Everything AFTER the equal-sign should be replaced with everything BEFORE the equal sign in the line that ends with "Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional".
3) Boot the Windows 2000 Pro and simply erase the Windows 2000 Server folder.
That's all.

oopps i meant for diggisaur to get the points im sorry
You can post in the community to get the answer changed...however I am willing to split the points 50/50 with sr75 :)
Ok....I looked again...a whole 50 points....doesn't matter sr75 can keep em :)
Thanks Diggisaur. But I meant for you to have them as you beat me to the punch.
You can remove the SERVER boot entry by modifying the BOOT.INI.....
But need to know if on different partitions and which one is on what.
