Hi guys,
I apologize for the vagueness of this post, but I thought maybe someone here would know what I was talking about.
I installed Windows XP (Home) upgrade on my laptop several weeks ago, and to verify that I was eligible to use the upgrade, the CD prompted me to insert my previous Windows CD (which was Windows ME). The installation continued as usual and appeared successful.
Now, when I turn on the computer, before the Windows XP loading screen comes on, I am prompted to choose between two operating systems - XP, and something else (sorry, can't remember what it says - I'm at a work computer right now). But there ARE no other operating systems installed on my computer. No partitions, nothing. I have to select XP, or after about 30 seconds the prompt goes away and XP is selected automatically.
So, does anybody know why this happened and how to correct it? I'd like to be able to just turn on the computer and have it boot up quickly on its own. TIA!
Eric
