Help! OS trouble!

[dmendt]

I'd like some help on a particular OS problem, so I'll try to explain as clearly as possible...

I have 2 partitions on my hard drive (C, D). On each one, I had installed different versions of Windows XP Pro (SP1 & SP2), and each time I booted up, the computer asked me which OS I wanted to load, as it should be.

Now, realizing that all the SP2 horror stories were unfounded, I decided to format my entire D partition (containing XP SP1), leaving it completely empty. Here comes the problem: When I boot up, the computer still asks me which OS I want to load, even if there is now only one installed on the computer. How can I fix this so that when I turn the computer on it loads Windows directly from C.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

Follow these steps:
right click on My Computer - choose Properties - select the Advanced tab - choose Settings from the Startup and Recovery section.
Now you can:
1- Choose the operating system u want to start with from Default Operating System section and uncheck "Time to display list of OS"
2- Click Edit and delete the operating system of choice.

I prefer the first one, the second is tricky.
