I have a couple small problems. I installed XP beautifully, but when i boot, it "thinks" its in dual boot w/ a previous installation of Win2k that isnt on that partition anymore. I had the same problem when i nuked win2k and downed to win98. I booted w/ boot disk. a:\fdisk /mbr then a:\sys c: the message was gone. anyone have any ideas on ditching the screen.
PROB2: only complaint i have is my velocity 4400 w/ tvout works fine, but tvout doesnt work. using new Detonator drivers from nvidia, tvout flickers to television but no real picture. xp drivers arent released. so i used win2k drivers. any suggestions.
thanks for the help.

You have to edit the boot.ini, and make sure only one OS appears there. When I first put WIN2k on, it had win2k / windows listed in a dual boot format.

Or, you can change the time that that screen appears. I usualy have mine at 3 secs, after 3 secs, it boots to the default (winxp).
That is the "best" bet.

You can do this in the control panel (Maybe even in tweakui)

Enjoy
