    Default Boot Manager

    I have two hard drives in my computer and I installed FreeBsd on my second hard drive (slave). Boot manager was also installed on my primary hard drive (c:\). Now I decided to remove FreeBsd from this computer and transfer it to another computer. Problem: The computer is still prompting me at boot time to choose between two systems (when there is only one to choose from, ie. Win98). How do I get rid of this prompt and let the system boot normally as before?

    Any help will be very much appreciated. You can reply to [email]petedelacruz@earthlink.net[/email] or [email]petedna@hotmail.com[/email].

    Thank you.

    Boot to Windows and issue this command:
    fdisk /mbr
