Duel boot problems

Guys i am trying to remove one of the OS's in my duel boot, Windows XP Pro SP1 being my primary boot.

I am trying to edit the boot.ini in the cmd by doing the following -

bootcfg /delete /ID#

though as i insert the ID2 it keeps coming up with either "BOOTCFG /DELETE /?" for usage.

or

The system cannot find the path specified, even though the IDs of the separates OS's are ID1 & ID2.

Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

Thanks.

To edit your Boot.ini in xp, hold down the windows key + Pause key this will bring up the system properties applet. Under the "Advanced" tab in the "startup and Recovery" box click the "settings" key, in the "System Startup" box click the edit button. This will open notepad with the text of your Boot.ini, make the adjustments and click save. Your Boot.ini has now been changed.
