- XP Boots but with Dual OS Choice
- Posted by TheNewsGuy(Mike) on April 28th, 2008
I have a computer that had XP-Prof loaded on - probably pirated. I
wanted to get rid of it so I purchased a legal copy of XP-Home Ed. and
loaded the system - everything went well, I deleted the old Windows
directory and the new XP runs fine.
The only problem is during the boot phase when I am asked if I want to
boot the XP-Home or XP-Prof. (the HOME ED boots after a 25 second delay)
But that's inconvenient.
Can I change the system startup so it does not think there is a dual OS
and my XP boots automatically?
Thanks
