Removing Prompt for Which XP Version To Load

[Smithers]

I just reimaged a desktop computer... going from XP Home to XP Pro.

Specifically, I booted from the XP Pro disk, and took the option to install
a fresh copy of Windows... deleted all partitions, created new partition,
formatted it with NTFS (not quick format), and then completed the
installation of XP Pro.

I expected that the above sequence would have gotten rid of XP Home
completely. But now when I boot the computer, I get a prompt asking if I
want to start XP Home or XP Pro. This prompt has a timer that decrements
down from 30 seconds.

How can I get rid of that prompt?

XP Home is actually not on the computer . I even selected the option to run
XP Home from that prompt and it choked (as it should have).

So how do I get rid of that prompt?

Thanks!

Hello,

Click on Start/Run and type in MSCONFIG. Flip to the BOOT.INI tab and click on "Check all boot
paths". This should remove any invalid boot paths from the boot.ini file.

Run the msconfig utility and in the boot.ini tab have it check for and
remove invalid boot paths.
