why boot ini - shows dual boot

[Guest]

Strange I install xp into c partition (which been deleted before the
installation.
After installation when I boot up, it shows dual boot and also in the
boot.ini. I also reformat the D partition after installation of xp.
In the C partition, there is only 1 windows folder WINDOW
Although I can set the time to 5 sec instead of 30 sec in the boot.ini, but
I preferit does not show any " presence" of 2nd xp. Is there anything wrong
with the mobo/bios?

If you deleted the partition and then proceded to recreate the same
partition without a reboot - this can happen.

Your problem, however - is easily solved by editing the Boot.ini and
eliminating the bogus entry.

I deleted the 2nd entry in the boot.ini. Reboot and its still the same, it
will show 2 entries on the black screen with thw clock counting down.

Pls ignore the post earlier, just check and the boot.ini is now correct and
it boots up ok. without showing the 2nd option/black screen
