When i start up my PC

When i start up my pc i get a black screen asking me if i want to start up either “Windows XP Professional Edition” or “Windows XP Home Edition” This started when i installed Tiny XP
I have never actually used “Windows XP Home Edition”, when given then choice,
so does any1 kno how i can just make it load “Windows XP Professional Edition” automatically?
Answer #1
You installed 2 OS’s and did not format thats why you have that, Xp pro must be tiny xp, Xp home is what you must of had when you already had the comp, Im sure you can change it so you wont see it, But i ent too sure because i ent done it, Wait for someone else to reply
Good luck
EDIT: Just format again mate with the OS you want, Then you wont have that problem

Unfortuneatly you will lose everythink but if you have 2 hardrives back up the stuff you want to save on D drive for example and format C drive, Or just back up the stuff you want too keep on a DVD or external hardive or even memory stick
Good luck

Hi mate. No need to do that at all. You need to edit boot.ini and remove the OS you don’t want

Answer #8
Just select
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition” /noexecute=optin
/fastdetect
And delete it. Then save the document.
You would then need a partition program to add the space that Home Edition took up to the XP Pro. partition.
