Hi, I recently installed windows 2008 beta edition on top of windows 2003. It wasn't complete so I decided to go back my windows 2003. When I server boot up it give out two option: 1. Earlier version of windows 2. Install Windows 2008 servers. How can I take this option off? I login to my windows 2003 server under system properties and edit my boot files but it still show up. Is there a way to take that off? Thank, Tim

Timmy did you get this fixed? You will have to boot your windows 2003 cd and go into the repair option and select recovery console(you will have to know your admistrator password)select 1 for your windows 2003 drive at the prompt then put in your password then again at the prompt do this:
Fixboot c:(if this your windows 2003 is installed) and press enter then at the prompt again type exit which will reboot your dual boot option will be gone and you will boot straight into windows 2003

beerme:editing the boot.ini won't fix his problem(as he has tried). Doing it by my method works.
