Hi,I just installed windows xp professional and now when I boot up I have to choose between xp professional(newly installed) and xp home edition(original OS),can someone explain how to remove the original windows home edition and leave xp professional. thanks for your help!!!
go to my computer/control panel/system/advance/startup and recovery/settings/system startup/ Here you can put the number 0 in the line that says time to display operating systems or you can press edit and go into the boot.ini file and remove the line that has the entry for xp home. (make a copy and paste of the boot.ini and save it on notepad, just incase you delete the wrong entry and have to redo it.) [boot loader] timeout=5 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" multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\windows="micorsoft windows home" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
