Startup probs

[Karl]

I tried using the XP-disk to format a new HD but
afterwards the disk inserted the XP installation files on
the disk. Hence when I tyr ti restart my computer the
installation process iniated. I tried to fix the problem
by re-formatting the disk but that only resulted in me
getting a menu where I could choose which of my two OS I
wanted to use (note that I never installed another copy
of XP). If I choose the "wrong" OS (which Windows does
automaticly if I don't pick one) the computer simply says
my Windows install is corrupt and resets... How can I get
windows to understand that there only is on OS?

Thanks

You need to edit the boot.ini file and remove the extra xp entry:
right click my computer, properties, advanced tab, startup and recovery
section-settings, edit button.
