Hello,

I fresh installed windows on a new laptop and now I have a choice of windows xp and windows home. I deleted all of the partitions and formated NFTS. Why do I get a choice? Is there any way of always logging into one without chosing it?

Thanks

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Press the Windows key + Pause|Break {this will bring up the system properties dialog}. Go to the Advanced tab. In the section titled Startup and Recovery, click Settings. In the dialog box that appears, look in the section titled System Startup. You will see a button called Edit, click this. It will open up the boot.ini file in notepad. Under the [operating system] portion, you will probably have two lines. Delete the second line if that is the operating system you no longer use.

You want it to look something like this:

Code:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Will this possibly screw up my computer beyond repair so that I won't be able to boot it anymore.

That is very helpful though I will give it a try.

Double Post:
Worked perfectly. Thank you so much russ.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
