How to remove other options on boot screen.

Hello

Follow these steps:

1. Information about boot menu is stored in the boot.ini file so you need to make it writable. Open cmd and enter this command:

attrib -r boot.ini

2. Now go to Start -> Run and enter this command: notepad c:boot.ini

3. As you can on pictures, in this example we have two Windows options, you must know on which partition you "good" windows is, so delete "bad" windows partitions and change the default value of partitions to the "good" one.

But first backup your files before doing this. 

Cheers.
