Default Dual Boot

I was running with a dual boot XP/98 but have now removed the hard drive
which had the 98 OS. However when I start the machine I still have the boot
option screen. How do I remove the boot option and go straight to XP /

Default Re: Dual Boot

Edit the Boot.ini file located in the root directory of the C: drive. You
can also do this through MSConfig and its built in tools.
