2884.0. "Remove dual-boot, revert to Win95 only?" by ZKWRK1::RJACK () Sun Mar 30 1997 21:51

    I have a dual-boot (NT 4.0 and Win95) System and would like to
    revert it back to a Win95 only system such that when booted the
    boot selection menu (presented by NT?) no longer comes up and I
    boot directly into Win95 without any menu.
    
    Which files do I need to remove from the boot disk in order to
    accomplish this?

    re: <<< Note 2884.0 by ZKWRK1::RJACK >>>
    
    Boot from a bootable Win95 floppy with  "sys.com" on it.  Then
    just do a "sys c:" and delete the no longer needed files (ntdetect.com,
    ntldr,...)
