Tried to install XP over W98se but it continually crashed so I bailed
out and cancelled the install. XP Setup said it uninstalled but I'm
still left with at startup a prompt choice: "Windows XP setup" or
"Windows" which defaults to "XP setup" in about 2 seconds. Of course the
setup stalls and I have to reboot if I miss the prompt. I'd like to get
rid of this last vestige of XP or at the least have it default to
"Windows" (old W98se) so I don't have to always manually select .

Thank you Jerry, Can you be more specific? The following is my
boot.ini. Should I replace Default=C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT with
Default=??
