Hi Guys,
I installed WinXp on my computer and had to reinstall it again had problems.
I didn't pay attention and installed it on the wrong drive, so I reformatted
that drive and reinstalled it on the correct drive. The problem is that when
window boots up, it asks me to select the operating sys I wish to start,
which is the first choice. How do I remove the second(none working choice)
so that it will just boot up normally.
Thanks guys
Appreciated
Regards
Bob

From Start | Run | Msconfig | ok. On the boot tab click on check all boot
paths. It should find the one that points to the old install on the other
drive, and offer to remove it. Accept. The next time you reboot if it will
pops up a message that you're in diagnostic mode just check the box to not
remind you any more.
