Switch
Explanation
/remove
Removes the entry from boot.ini.
/entry:number
Removes the ID of the entry from boot.ini.
If the entry to be removed is the default boot option, then GDisk removes the
entry and sets the first entry in the remaining list as the default boot entry.
GDisk does not remove the entry if it is the only entry in boot.ini.
Use the /default switch to set the default boot option and timeout.
The syntax for this command is as follows:
gdisk32 /bootini /default [/entry:number] [/timeout:sec]
[/inifile:filename] [/r]
Table 5-14
