Hello. I'm french. I don't speak english very well.So, i got Windows XP Pro SP3 installed on one HDD. I've also installed Windows 7 RC onmy otherHDD.I had to format this second HDD (Windows 7 RC was installed on !).WhenI start my computer it also ''ask'' me if I want to boot on Windows 7 RC. So it crash if I choose this option ...[boot.ini has not been changed ...]So, now I got Windows XP pro on one HDD. The other one is formated.Do you know the way I could hide this message ? So, I would only boot on my first HDD (Windows XP pro SP3).C:\Windows>mbr and C:\Windows>fixmbr doesn't work !!!!Thank's.
