    as i said, at the start up of my computer, it asks which OS to chose, and im guessing i have 2 OS installed on mine. but i only use one, so how do i set it so it just always starts up one OS and not the other?

    What OS are you using? For XP you can go to MY COMPUTER, right click on my computer and choose properties. Go to the advanced tab. Choose start up and recovery. Click on the settings button. You will see the System start up and default OS selection. Choose the OS you want as default and then, uncheck the 'time to display list of OS' button.
    Hope this helps.
