dual boot problem

I had a problem on my primary hard drive so I loaded Windows 2000 on my second hard drive. Anyway, long story short, I fixed the problem on my primary hard drive. Now I have windows 2000 listed twice in the boot menu selection. I deleted the winnt folder from my second hard drive. How do I remove the second windows 2000 listing from the boot menu? Thanks in advance.

careful doing this, but on your C: drive there is a file called boot.ini
right click on this file and click properties, uncheck the readonly attribute. and click ok.
now open up the boot.ini in notepad and remove the line that looks like this:
multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional"
0

Thanks, that fixed me. There was another line in boot.ini had to remove (with the one you recommened) to completely fix it, but I didn't write it down. Thanks again.
