removing WIN 2000

I am running a dual boot machine with WIN95 and WIN NT4. I tried to upgrade the WIN NT4 OS to WIN2000 to make a triple boot machine. I now have a problem with WIN 2000 and one of my sound cards, because WIN2000 crashes to a blue screen when the OS tries to boot.

I removed the sound card and WIN2000 booted fine, but the moment I put the sound back in the computer - I get blue screened.

I now want to remove the WIN2000 OS section from the boot segment. The question is - how do I do it, without destroying my WIN95 and WIN NT4 partitions. Also note, WIN2000 is installed on a separate harddrive, so I could delete the WIN2000 folder, but I also want to remove the WIN2000 option from the initial loader screen.

Thanks

You could easily just put in a Windows boot disk and use fdisk to get rid of the partition that Windows 2000. Then just open the bootloader file (boot.ini) and delete the entry for Windows 2000.

OKay, I will try later tonite.

Thanks


:D

I hope this works. Also, would the boot.ini file only appear on dual boot machines? I don't find it on a single OS machine.

Here is a copy of my boot.ini file... Are there any second opinions before I delete any part of this file??? I hope there are. Thanks....


[boot loader]
timeout=1
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(4)\WINNT_ 2
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(4)\WINNT_2="Micro soft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos
C:\="Microsoft Windows"



I am thinking that I should delete:


multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(4)\WINNT_2="Micro soft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect

and change:

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(4)\WINNT_ 2

to:

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT


Any input is accepted by the way, I have WIN2000 installed in folder called WINNT2. I can delete that once I get this file straighted out....
