The situation is that i have XPpro SP1 installed on my PC, then i created a SP2 slipstream unattended disc to create a fresh install.

When i rebooted and had the SP2 disc in, it asked if i wanted to boot from the disc, I click yes!

It went throught the intial steps but did not show the Format screen at all. ( i have 3 partitions). It ended up installing on the 3rd partition and as such i had 2 partitions running XP, one with SP1 and the last with SP2.

I tried to format partition 1 to no avail then, rebooted and then was able to format partition 1, finally. I then installed again from the CD onto partition 1 and formated partition3.

Now when i boot up from the HDD a window asks me which OS do i want to run?

XPprofessional or
XPprofessional.

The first one works and the second doesnt. How can i get rid of this???

Thanks.

open your boot.ini file in notepad

goto run type:

notepad C:\boot.ini

delete that certain line thats it
Note: MAKE SURE U KNOW WHAT LINE IT IS
your boot.ini file may also be read only, so goto folder options, deselect "Hide protected system files" or something like that, then boot.ini will show up in c:\ as semi transparent, right click it, choose properties, then remove the read only attribute (then do step 1)

No I mean the two "Windows XP Professional"s - M$ would think that 5 of these would be easy to figure out
