When PC is turned on, I have to make a choice of:
XP professional
or
XP.

How do I make it go into XP automatically?

thanx in advance
 
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 work for you, then:

Right-click 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

It will go to the first choice listed when the count-down in the startup
menu reaches zero.

But *why* have you two instances of XP on one machine?

is it you tried to upgrade XP Home, to Pro, but installed Pro in a different
directory?
 
I didn't know there were 2 instances of XP,
maybe cos i aborted one installation and tried again.

Thanks guys
