failed install

[red33]

I intstalled xp on a clean hard drive...after a couple of
reboots, I got an error mssge saying a system file was
corrupt...so i just installed xp again, into the same
directory...everything works, except:

at startup (as the pc is going thru boot process), i get
a screen asking me which operating system i
want...the "good" xp install or the intsall that's
missing the "system file" I now realize I should have
done a format before doing the second install....

is there anyway to get the option to choose the "bad
install" off of the startup screen?

Yeah you just have to boot to dos and delete the
partition and create a new one then re-install Windows XP.
