Win2k Dual-Boot Problem...
OK, My original HD crashed so I used my secondary HD and loaded Win2k on it so I would have something to use. I had to put it on the 2nd partition of that drive. About a week later I decided to go ahead and format the entire drive and reinstall 2k fresh.

My problem is that now it wants to dual-boot but there is only 1 OS installed. I used the repair console and tried to "FIXBOOT" but it didn't help. Also, while in the console it shows 1 installation on C: and 1 on D: which is impossible since my D: drive is a cd-rom.

Is their any way to delete the boot record for the 2nd install???

Thanks in advance...

Have you removed the obsolete entry from C:\boot.ini?

Also, I thought during a full reformat that the boot sector was formatted too...
