1133572 2010-09-01 02:56:00 Umm, right mouse on my computer on the desktop (if its there) / properties. Go to advanced / bottom option / top option /edit. Copy and paste the boot.ini info here. Or start/run type msconfig. Go to boot.ini tab Click on check boot paths. Speedy Gonzales (78)

1133574 2010-09-01 03:09:00 [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="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

When I clicked on " check all boot paths " I get a message that says " It appears that all BOOT INI lines for Microsoft systems are ok.

1133575 2010-09-01 03:11:00 The entry for Pro isnt in there, which is why it doesn't let you select it Speedy Gonzales (78)
1133576 2010-09-01 03:14:00 I might run repair installation on Pro and see what happens then.

Thanks guys

1133577 2010-09-01 07:32:00 Just add a line pointing to the Pro install.
A repair install will probably leave you with Pro only... :)

1133578 2010-09-01 07:53:00 Thanks Fred but I did try that, but got a message saying some files were missing, so went ahead & done re install of PRO and all is good now, both OS's are there to select.

thanks very much everyone , much appreciated.
