At the moment My pc is running XP home...I installed XP pro as well so I could go home/pro when I boot up.

I've deleted the partition that Pro was on but still have the choice to boot up pro...but with no O/S it wont do anything.

How do I stop it coming up with the dual boot screen and just boot straight to XP home ??

Ta

i cant see why you would want to run xp home when you can use xp pro

i have done some research on trying to find out about boot options so that you can delete the options for xp pro but at the moment i must be a bit thick because i can not find a thing thats helpfull on the web but i will keep trying

does this link help your peoblem in any way

Cheers I got a copy of XP pro and I've been running XP home for ages and decided to put pro on a different partition of the hard drive.. but as I have loads of stuff on here and can't be bothered swapping it all over I deleted the partition with XP pro on but I still have it coming up as an option but it comes up with an error

I can reinstall XP pro if it's easier and reinstall everything off C drive

Sorted Thanks I did a google and found this did what it said and hey presto boots straight to home..

This is FAQ #20 at the following site:

#20 I have two installations of XP on the same partition.......

"I have two installations of XP on the same partition........"

1. Boot to the desired version of Windows XP you want to keep. Making note of the position in the boot menu. This will be important when you edit boot.ini.

2. Open a command prompt * and type " echo %windir%" without the quotes. This will give you the current Windows folder you are using.

3. From Explorer, delete the folder containing the installation you want to remove. The original install folder is usually called Windows and subsequent folders will be derivatives of Windows or Winnt.

4. From System Properties [Winkey+Pause/Break] > Advanced Tab > Statup and Recovery > Settings > Edit.

5. Select the Edit button and from notepad, first backup boot.ini, by going to File; Save As and rename boot.ini. to something like boot.inibak.

6. Remove the line referencing the installation not chosen; you made note of in step one.

7. Set timeout=0 so the system boots directly into Win XP (you will not get the boot menu).

8. Save As boot.ini & Exit.

9. Reboot.

* To access the command prompt: Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt or from Start>RUN>Type "CMD" without the quotes, then press OK.

I agree with spud tho that running Pro is so much better!

Hope this helps.
