when i installed BeOS 5 pro the first time on my computer, i split up the harddisk with Be-partition magic. BeOS got a place of 1.5 GB to work with.
then i installed the OS. on the end it asked me, if i want to install the Be-Boot manager as well. i did so, although i have already a boot manager from windows NT.
later i had to delete everything on my computer, because of hardware-problems. after re-installing NT i still got the BeOS boot manager, although i did EVERYTHING delete - all partitions. i deleted again, but after reinstalling NT, the same as last time.

what can i do to rip of this stupid BeOS boot manager? please, it is very annoying!

thanx Zauberlehrling!

When you installed the BeOS bootmanager you were told to make a rescue disk, simply load up BeOS, put in the disk, and restart with the disk in your computer, I think thats how it works although I've never used bootmanager.

Option no.2

1. Just boot into BeOs.
2. Open terminal
3. Type bootman
4. Uncheck all of the boxes
5. Reboot

The boot manager will be gone

type fdisk /mbr under windows at the c:\ prompt, and ignore any virus warnings you get (they are false). This will restore the mbr to what windows wants it to be.
