Start up options

[david]

this might be the wrong place to post but i have a
computer that i just wiped the hard drive on. After i did
this, I installed windows xp home. now when i restart my
computer it always prompts me to choose which operating
system to use. either home or professinal. how do I get
the computer to just load home version and bypass this
screen.



Also, where did the xp pro come from?

Go to Start > Run and type: MSCONFIG , and hit enter.
Click on the BOOT.INI tab and then click on "Check All Boot Paths"
to delete incorrect boot paths.

If the above does not work for you, then:

Right-click MY COMPUTER and select:

Properties > Advanced > Startup and Recovery Settings > Edit

CAREFULLY edit your boot.ini file to remove the SECOND entry.
Your boot.ini file should then look similar to this:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect
