Hi there,
I recently finished my first build and everything went fine. I installed a Cold cathode light but it started giving me a headache from seeing it in the corner of my eye so i took it out of the case and disconnected it while the pc was still on and accidently pulled out the HD powercable, then my screen went black which it then said it did to make my pc safe blah blah blah. In anyways now i reinstalled windows and it had wiped my hard drive clean but the program files of my games, programs etc where still there but this isnt the issue. Now when i turn on my PC it loads the motherboard screen then it asks which OS i want to run and they are both the same exept one is corrupt and comes to a screen about errors, but if i select the newly installed one it runs fine and dandy. I just wanna know how i can get rid of the old OS still on the hardrive or set it that i dont have to select which OS system i want to load.

Hope ive gave enough info for u guys to help me with..

Thanks Ryan
 
ha yeah well its my first time really..anywho i wanna reopen this thread as i did what you guys told me to do like open boot.ini and delete the old one but now when i come to the boot menu it says Windows XP professional and then Windows default and when i select windows default it comes up with the same rubbish as the OS i tried to delete!!!

Thanks guys Ryan
