Windows on all partitions? Oops!

Hi, y’all!

I’ve just built my first system and I’m pleased. I made 3 partitions and unfortunatly, in my naievity I put Windows on all three.

So whenever I go to start up now I get a choice or which one I want to use. Not a big problem but I don’t want to have to select the partition every time.

I’ve tried re-formating the partitions and un-partitioning them but it keeps coming up with these options upon restart. It does however no longer recognise those selections when I click on them.

How do I get rid of the options though without re-formatting the whole HDD??
Cheers!

Select ‘Show hidden files’ and ‘Show system files’ in the folder options control panel.

Go to your C: drive and open up boot.ini

Delete the entries that you no longer need

just edit “C:\boot.ini” change the timeout from 30 to 0 (seconds) and your pc will now boot the default OS
