When i start my PC...
Hi, All,
The problem that I'm having is, when i start my pc, after all the bios loadings. i keep getting the options of 1. Install windows xp. 2. Start up with the already installed windows xp. This happened after my friend gave me a windows Xp disc that wasn't booting on his PC, so i tested it on my pc. After i went through the loading process of installing XP i cancel it at the option screen. but now i get the options at start up. what can i do, to take the 1st option off, for good? Som1, Please help... |

Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. -or-
[boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional (or Home depending on your version)" /fastdetect There will be another line like the one in bold, delete it. If your unsure post what you have and we can tell you which one to remove. |

Correct remove this entry
C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Setup" Then SAVE but make sure it is saved as boot.ini and not a text file. |

Just hit File Save As, make sure at the bottom the file name is boot.ini and save as type is "All Files" this file is in:
C:/ |
