Removing another xp pro setup

[Guest]

Hi, my dumb roommate tried to fix a laptop by beginning to install my copy of
xp pro in my own computer (he thought he was doing it to the usb drive I have
attached to it). Now, everytime I start my computer it ask me which xp I wan
to use (xp pro and xp pro setup). I want to get rid of the xp pro setup,
please your help will be very much apreciated. Thanks

System Properties> Advanced> Startup and Recovery> Settings. In the System
Startup section, make sure that your XP Pro is selected. Click the Edit
button below that and Notepad will open with the contents of your current
boot.ini file. Remove the reference to the XP Pro setup. Close file and
save changes. On the next restart, you should boot directly to XP (the old
one, not the incomplete setup).

Another possible way to fix this is by using Start> Run> MSCONFIG. On the
Boot.ini tab, click the Check all boot paths. If MSCONFIG deems the
incomplete setup to be "invalid," it will offer to remove it from boot.ini
for you.
