At start up it asks me to Select An Operating System...

[lukey83]

I used my computer to install WinXP onto a slave drive. I took the slave out (put it back in its own case) and now on the PC that I used as the master, it asks me at startup to select an operating system. Either WinXP Pro or WinXP Pro. I selected the first one, but its says the boot path is not correct, so i restarted and selected the second one. Which booted my C drive. How can I configure it to stop displaying that message and boot staright to my C drive?

Well, I think this might a problem of your computer thinking there are two copies of an operating system there, when there isn't because you removed the one hard drive. Since this isn't the case, I would suggest reformatting and reinstalling Windows and that should do the trick. If you are looking for something a little less drastic, I don't know enough about that part to really help you much, but I'm sure there a few who could .

Yeah I figured as much.
Well hopefully someone can help =D. I dont really wanna reformat at this time. But if its the last resort than I may as well.

Thanks.

If anyone else has this problem I now know how to fix it. Just do this --->

Right click "My Computer" then click "Properties" "Advanced Tab" "Settings" button in "Startup and recovery".

Select your default OS you want to boot.
Then uncheck the:
"Time to display list of operating systems"

Apply and ok everything.

how do you get rid of the second one

Ok found out...

press the edit button and they will be two of these at the bottom

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

and delete the second one.
