how do i uninstall win2k

[moonsocket]

ok..so i have XP on my machine and was having problems with a program that my wife neede to connect to her work network..their tech support said that the program doesnt support XP only 2k..so i made a partition for 2k, installed it, installed the program and guess what, the program doesnt work in 2k either..stupid tech guy.
anyhow..is it possible for me to just delete 2K? or will i have that stupid dueal boot screen even if i delete it?
im just gonna format the partition with 2k on it.
thanks in advance

Edit c:\boot.ini (like a hidden, system file) and delete any references to Win2K. Delete/format the Win2K partition and it should be gone.

I'm trying to do the same thing... do you have to keep the [bootloader] portion or can that be deleted as well?

[boot loader]
timeout=15
default=C:\
[operating systems]
C:\="Microsoft Windows"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect


EDIT: well...looks like [bootloader] does need to stay...good thing I backed up my boot.ini file Taking out the last two lines fixed things up for me.

WinXP, Win2K, and WinNT essentially use the same boot loader. You just don't see it until you have more than one boot option installed.
