>Can anyone help with removing Windows NT 4.0 Workstation on a system with a dual boot Windows 95. My problem is I can't remove the boot.ini file because it still trys to use NTLoader on restart. TIA. --Lincoln

You need to replace the master boot record. Boot from a Win95 boot floppy that contains a copy of FDISK. From the A: prompt, issue the following command:

FDISK /MBR

The will replace the master boot record, which inlcudes the NTLoader bootstrap code from NT with the Win95 bootstrap code. If you reboot after this, NTLoaderwill not be started.
