 Computer asks for uninstalled operating system Hello all ... a long time ago I installed a second version of Windows XP on my computer. If memory serves, I installed it on the same directory as my original operating system. I uninstalled it shortly thereafter ... however, every time I boot up, the computer asks me which copy of XP I want to use. This despite the fact that I have since totally reinstalled windows and even replaced the physical hard drive! How can I get it to stop asking for an operating system that no longer exists? Currently I am running XP Pro on an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ with 2 Gigs of RAM and 750 Gigs on 3 hard drives. Many Thanks!!  Last edited by RobT : 28th Oct 2007 at 04:35 PM.       |

| Computer asks for uninstalled operating system You edit the boot.ini file and remove the OSs you no long want to appear in that list, if you just have one OS in the list then it gets bypassed.
