Had a major problem and hired MS to guide me through the
corrections. They did the job very well. Do to a failed
cooling fan I again had the same problem, got a new fan
and followed the proir instructions.

Everthing does work with one exception.

When I start my PC I get my Gateway screeen then instead
of windows booting up, I get a multible choice screen
with re-install windows-xp highlighted and I must move
quick to change to open with windows-xp.

I went to Gateway and they stated this looks like a dual
boot with windows-xp installed on top of it's self. Is
their a easy way to correct this issue?
