    two versions of winxp when i bootup!!!!!

    Hi!

    I just done a fresh install on my work dell latitude D600 as it was a hand me down and had loads of crud on it. I thought I formatted the disk correctly and so, but now when I boot the laptop up I get the option to choose ‘two’ versions of win xp, the first is the default one and works great the second has nothing on it and does not do anything…

    Anyway I can sort this ?

    Or right click my computer, advanced tab, startup and recovery panel, settings button, click edit in the system startup panel.
    To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.
