OK im having problems after installing windows XP home on hard disk I keep on getting Advance Option Menu on every cold boot. It asks me to press enter and the press enter again for Win XP Home. How Do I make my computer boot right into WinXP Home by default? My Hard Disk is on NTFS partition and there is also unknow partiotion from RED HAT that cannot be removed with FDISK or Partiotion MAgik 8. Thanks in advance. :)

For your advance option menu, I don't know. But, if you want to remove RedHat, try "Part.exe" program. With this program, you are able to delete a partition.

Here is a very distructive way of getting rid of that partition, be warned you will have to reinstall your os: boot to a win98/me floppy. at the a: prompt type the following: DEBUG (ENTER) F 200 L1000 0 (ENTER) A CS:100 (ENTER) MOV AX,301 (ENTER) MOV BX,200 (ENTER) MOV CX,1 (ENTER) MOV DX,80 (ENTER) **80 = PRIMARY HARD DRIVE** INT 13 (ENTER) INT 20 (ENTER) **BLANK LINE** (ENTER) **VERY IMPORTANT** G (ENTER) Q (ENTER) Reboot, you will now have a raw drive with unallocated space ready for you to fdisk formart reinstall. or if you're using xp, just boot to the xp cd let it do all the dirty work. G'luck
