    I have been doing some experimenting with installing Win2k Pro and Win
    XP on separate hard drives on my computer. When a second system exists
    on the computer, I get a boot prompt as to which system to boot from.
    All is as it should be so far, but as I have done this on a number of
    occasions and after each time I re-format the partition for the second
    drive. The boot prompt lists slavishly the entire history of Win systems
    that I have installed on my second drive and no longer reflects the
    actual systems or lack of systems on my computer. How can I edit or
    delete this boot prompt file? It apparently doesn't reside on the MBR
    (Master Boot Record) as do Linux dual boot managers such as LILO and
    GRUB, as a boot from a Win 98 SE floppy disk and the execution of "fdisk
    /mbr" at the command prompt doesn't get rid of the boot prompt file as
    with LILO or GRUB. How do I get rid of or edit this file?

    Cheers,

    Brian
