I had XP Home edition on my PC. Then I did upgrade to XP Professional. Now,
while booting it gives me an option to select to boot either Home or
professional. How to delete the Home edition only from my system?

try this

start>run and type

msconfig

go to the Boot.ini tab, then select "Check all Boot Paths"

Good Luck

Hi,

Does selecting Home work? Meaning, does it load the older WinXP Home
installation if you choose it?

If no, then click start/run, type msconfig and click ok. Go to the boot.ini
tab and click the button to "check all boot paths". It should offer to
remove the invalid one.

If yes, you will first need to locate and delete the WinXP Home installation
folders before doing the above procedure. In either case, it sounds like you
chose "new installation" rather than upgrade when you installed it.
