UN-wanted Dual boot

D

Doug

Hey folks,

Somehow, in the process of installing a new hard disk as a slave, a file
got changed and now when I boot up, it ask which OS to load, and lists XP
Professional 2 times. I couldn't get to boot at all for a little bit cause
that screen would flash by so fast. Normally if I missed the option, it
would come up that I was missing a couple of files and would keep rebooting.
What I had to do is wait at just the right moment and hit the down arrow and
enter very quickly to get this OS to load properly.

In a nutshell, somehow this thing wants to dual boot and see's another OS
for some reason which there is none, and its giving me a headache. What
file do I need to change so that it only shows this OS to boot from??

TIA,

Doug

Go to Control Panel, System Folder, Advanced Tab, Start Up and Recovery
Settings. That should give you a couple of options
