Earlier Version of Windows - edit sub menu
I have a minimal installation of Windows XP here, since I had to install it before I could "upgrade" to Windows 7. In addition, I have partitions which contain an exact copy of my old Win2K and WinXP installations (using Paragon Hard Disk Manager).
The OS Selections menu on boot up shows both "Windows 7" and "Earlier Version of Windows", but only Windows 7 shows in EasyBCD or msconfig when running on Windows 7. If I select "Earlier Version of Windows" I get another sub menu with my minimal WinXP, then 4 identical selections of "Microsoft WinXP", and finally one for the old Win2K and WinXP in their individual partitions. The first 5 boot successfully into my minimal WinXP. Neither of the last 2 will boot successfully, though I was hoping to eventually enable them using EasyBCD.
I tried running msconfig in WinXP. This does show the full set of secondary selections, but there is no option to remove any of the entries there. I cannot find a boot.ini file in any partition on the HDD. Where is this secondary selection menu hiding, and how do I get rid of the things there that are not functional?
Thanks for your help.
