Go to Start > Run and type: MSCONFIG , and hit enter.
Click on the BOOT.INI tab and then click on "Check All Boot Paths"
to delete incorrect boot paths.
If the above does not correct the issue, then:
Right-click on MY COMPUTER and select:
Properties > Advanced > Startup and Recovery Settings > Edit
CAREFULLY edit your boot.ini file to remove the SECOND entry.
Your boot.ini file should then look similar to this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect

| When I changed my operating system to XP from 98, I now have a screen that comes up when I turn the computer
on, giving me a choice as to the Windows XP or my old opering system. If I choose the XP or let it time out
(30 seconds) everything is fine. If I click on the other, nothing happpens and the computer basically goes
to a flashing cursor on a blank screen. How can I get the computer to just go to the XP system?
