If your problem continues, it sounds a little like the problem described in message 45611 (dated 10/22/02) on this board. Take a look at it, especially Dan's Response No.1.

Try this From your desktop.. Right click 'my computer', click 'properties, click the 'advance' tab, click the 'settings' tab under the Startup and Recovery heading, UNCHECK the 'Time to Display List of Operating Systems', click OK. Reboot.

There is a hidden file called boot.ini in your active partition (Drive C: most likely), open it and modify it.

If you want to edit the OS selection to just show XP, follow response # 3. Instead of unchecking the time to display OS, click edit instead and delete the line for the old windows under the [operating systems]. Note: DO NOT DELETE the line with WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional"
