    Ok,
    I have done this so many times I could do it sleeping, I think.
    I reformated my M170 and reinstalled XP MCE from the disk.

    Now, when booting up, I have to selct one of two Media Center Edition OS choices.. As in Dual OS PCs would show.

    WTF? Now for the life of me.. I can't figure out #1 - How it happened. #2. How do I get rid of one without starting over again.

    Any ideas/suggestions??

    Thanks!

    c:/boot.ini

    edit out one of the lines.

    i believe it doesn't matter which one you delete unless you installed on a different partition.

    long way around....
