Hi guyz
i have a very basic doubt
2 yrs ago i formatted my My friend's pc due to excessive spyware
i formatted c drive then and reinstalled XP on the same drive
the same problem occured and he cleaned the infection and installed XP on d:
now while booting , it shows 3 operating systems

1) Windows XP (installed on d: , currently in use)
2) Windows XP ( doesn't boot)
3) Tune Up backup (already uninstalled)
how to remove this? (from boot.ini?)

PS he individually deleted the content of c: drive (installed with infected XP
thinking it will solve the prob :rolleyes:

Start > Run > Msconfig {Press Enter}
Click on Boot.ini tab
Click on Check All Boot Paths.
If any invalid entries are there, Windows will notify you and you may remove those entries.
