I have installed Windows hundreds of times and have only
recently come across this problem. After deleting the
previous partitions and starting from scratch ( i dont
usually create a partition for the new install ), I
usually do a quick install of Windows. After the install
was done, i rebooted and found myself at the OS select
screen, like i was tying to dual boot =/ My friend had
the same problem doing a quick install, so he did a full
install instead which fixed the problem. However, lately
i've been getting it no matter what type of install i do.
Any ideas as to how to easily fix this once it's done, or
prevent it from happening in the future? Thanks for yer
time!
 
edit c:\boot.ini to remove the extra OS choice. its a hidden, read only
file. change the attributes, edit, change them back.
