help with e1505, reboot prob

ok so i reinstalled xp and drivers on my comp but now when i reboot there is 2 options to pick for operating systems how do i make it so it just starts i tried erasing stuff on drive d but with no change please if you know help thanks

 

you need to edit your boot.ini file

right click on my computer-->properties-->advanced tab-->"settings" under the startup and recovery-->edit-->delete the line that starts with multi-->save and reboot.

 

i did but likethere is one that says windows default now did i do something wrong

 

is there 2 options in your boot.ini file or just 1?

You should see two lines similar to this, but you only need to have 1 line - so the other needs to be deleted.

And no, you didn't do anything wrong. This is a common problem with XP. For some reason when you format, it wrote an extra line in your boot.ini file instead of just writing over the current line.

 

here i will just show you what i see i want to keep the multi part thought cuz like i reinstalled but then liked my old settings so i went back and am now getting rid of what i did when i reinstalled xp

here-
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Media Center Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

 

Is that all of your boot.ini file?

I'm confused on what you are trying to do and what you did. You reformatted. Did you reformat over the XP partition (partition 2 or C: drive)? or did you install XP on another partition and kept your XP partition?

 

ya that is all ok like i reinstalled xp but like i realised after i did that i wanted to keep it how it was so i loaded my old stuff and am just trying to get rid of the new crap it is no big deal selecting it just kinda annoying and ya that is all i have in that boot.ini file idk what is up any ideas now??

 

try
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS

 

cool ya that worked thank you guys for your help
