How to Remove Windows XP Boot

If your computer is set to "dual boot," that means that you have two or more different operating systems installed on your hard drive. These can be different versions of the same operating system, like Windows 98 and Windows XP, or it can be two completely different operating systems, like Windows and Ubuntu. When you start up your computer you are presented with a list of operating systems you'd like to boot into at that time. If you want to remove Windows XP from that list, follow these directions.

Instructions

1. Boot your computer into Windows XP. When you turn your machine on you'll be presented with a list of installed operating systems you'd like to load at that particular time. Select Windows XP from the list and hit "Enter" on your keyboard.

2. Click on the Start menu at the bottom of the main Windows screen. Select the Run button.

3. Type "MSCONFIG" into the Run box and click "OK."

4. Click on the "Boot" tab located near the center of the MSCONFIG window.

5. Click on "Windows XP" from the list of different operating systems. Click the "Delete," located near the bottom of said list. This will remove Windows XP from your boot list.
