My system locked up.So I used my product recovery disk.
The problem is when I start my computer up it gives me
the option of 2 copies of windows. How can I get rid of
the copy I don't want.

Also my @ symbol is now on my number 2 key and " is on
why my @ symbol was how can I get change them Round.


Thanks
Terry
 
Keyboard problem go into your regional settings in
control panel and turn all the settings to UK and not USA
as must be the default.

The reason you have now the option menu is becuase you
have two copies of windows installed on your computer, I
think you will have to live with that how unless you
format your drive altogether.

Hi Terry,

Peter has addressed the keyboard issue.

For the duplicate systems, boot the one you want to keep. Open Windows
Explorer and delete the system folders for the one you do not want. Then you
will need to edit boot.ini (a hidden system file on the root of the boot
partition) to remove the reference to the system you do not want. You can
also do this from the startup and recovery settings on the advanced tab of
system properties in the control panel.
