| 777776 | 2009-05-29 01:11:00 | Yello, I had a test version of windows 7 installed, after it came up as not genuine I removed it by formatting the drive it was on, now when I start up the PC, I still have the option of starting W7 or XP. How do I remove this option and boot straight into Xp? TIA, Whenu |

| 777779 | 2009-05-29 03:06:00 | Tried seaching for BCDedit but no luck, would that only be in W7 or Vista?. XP is the operating system |

| 777780 | 2009-05-29 04:24:00 | If the boot loader has changed back to XP's, then just edit the boot.ini from system>advance>start up>setting and edit the line to remove the 2nd drive and o/s choice | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 777781 | 2009-05-29 04:33:00 | You could run fixmbr from the recovery consol, accessed via booting from the XP CD then pressing R. | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 777782 | 2009-05-29 05:02:00 | Solmeister, I've compared the boot.ini file with another XP system and the settings are both the same. Have copied the boot file [boot loader] timeout=10 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" /FASTDETECT cheers |

| 777783 | 2009-05-29 05:37:00 | I'd say you run fixboot using the Recovery Console (with WinXP CD), then the boot menu will be in XP style. | LynX (14542) | ||
| 777784 | 2009-05-29 07:10:00 | Huh? why all the fuss? Run>msconfig>boot.ini tab>check all boot paths |
