2 Windows - PRO & HOME on my pc ?

Hey guys,

I've just recently formatted my Packard Bell due to a file that was lost and it wouldnt let me boot up.... any way,

previously i had Windows XP Home installed on my pc. (default when i bought my pc)

So, i didnt have a windows XP home cd, I only had a Windows XP pro cd.

So, i put in my Windows XP Pro cd and formatted, when the format was comlpete, and my PC booted up, it asks me which one to select...

Windows home, or windows pro

This is rather annoying, any way of taking it off so it just boots the XP pro.

Thanks

Open the c:\boot.ini file in notepad (you'll have to enable, view hidden files). Then delete the line that refers to XP Home.

It's much safer to use this menu:

Right-click My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Start-up and Recovery > Settings
