I got pissed off at the setting in my PC one fine day so i nunutsly thought, in my anger that if i just reinstall Windows XP as an upgade it will make all of my problems go away. this was not so, i stopped the upgrade install. Now nothing is wrong with my PC its just that when i boot it asks what O/S i want WIN XP (the one i had BE4) or WIN XP SETUP (TAKES ME TO A WINDOWS XP INSTALL) how do i get rid of the second choice the install one any help would help thanks

System Properties > Advanced tab > Startup and Recovery Settings > Edit the startup options file manually

Remove that other line, probably the second one below <i>[operating systems]</i>.

I hope that help...

People are actually trying to find the answer instead of creating a new post for the same question over and over.
This is a good thing

To answer the question goto start|run|msconfig|boot.ini \check all boot paths
It should tell you that one is wrong say ok
If not highlight the one that you know is wrong and delete it.

Yes, but it's even greater if they don't bump 6+ year-old posts to the top.
