Starting options?

[Guest]

Hi all
After a successful clean install my computer (upon booting), now gives me
two options which never appeared previously.
Am now asked to select either the "MS Windows XP Home Edition" or the "MS
Windows Recovery Console", OS to start.
I had problems previous to the clean install and somehow instituted the
recovery console. My question is, is it possible to get back to only the
Windows XP Home Ed option without being asked to choose one or the other.
Thanks for any helpful info.

Yes it is.
You can edit the boot.ini and remove the Recovery Console from boot.
You can also set XP Home as the default os to boot.
Please read these site's carefully.
