hi,

i tried installing windows media center edition over xp professional (i
think) but it didnt work and now everytime i boot it shows a menu with
1. win xp pro
2. win xp pro install

i dont know if i should edit the boot.ini file which looks like this

[Boot Loader]
Timeout=50
Default=C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn /noguiboot /bootlogo
C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Setup"

Hi,

The last line is the one that refers to the failed setup and can be deleted.

Should be ok as is, but can be changed to the normal:

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS

rdisk(1) is not the normal.
rdisk(0) is.

Oops, yes, mis-typed that. rdisk(0) is correct for a standard system.
