Dear Gurus,

I have a system with 2 x 10Gb hard disks on which I am doing a clean
install of Win2k (SP3).

After successfully installing w2k on the primary drive (C:) I realized
that I had not setup the 2nd hard disk (no partition, no format
(NTFS)). No D: drive was visible from within Windows. Only the C:
drive.

I rebooted and ran through the four w2k boot floppies again until I got
to the partitioning section and proceeded to partiton the 2nd hard disk
and began to format it. When I returned, w2k was being installed on the
2nd drive.

Now when I startup I am asked wherther I would like to run Windows 2000
Professional, OR, Windows 2000 Professional (one on each hard disk).

I have formatted the 2nd drive (from within Windows, after booting from
the C: drive) and also completely redone the w2k installation on the C:
drive (including removing both partitions, repartitioning and
reformatting, but the chioce of 2 operating systems at startup persists.

How can I remove the option of booting from the 2nd hard disk?

Ciao,
Chappy.
