[sketchy]

hello, i got a dual boot screen with a two window xp. One is the regular Window Xp Professional while the other is Window Xp(default), i tried to got to control panel/system/advanced and try to get rid of it but it doesnt show up.

Which OS is the one you want to work ?

[sketchy]

i want the regular Window Xp professional to work. Because when i choose default nothing happen. it just restarts

[Cornholio]

go to c:

and edit the boot.ini file ( may be a hidden file )

It should look like this :


[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn


If not, make sure it does, backup the boot.ini file just incase but that should do it
