JesseJ1935 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 For reasons I don't really need to go into just now, I've had to do a complete reinstall of XP Home, with SP2. I should add that I haven't got around to downloading all the updates yet from Microsoft.I don't know how it came about exactly but I've ended up with the O.S. installed on a partition (F) as well as on the main partition ©. All I can think of is that while it was doing it's own thing I clicked somewhere when I should not have clicked and instead of wiping C I installed XP on F. And I'll say it before anybody else, I'm a ****** fool. So I ended up with C untouched and had to start from the beginning. Now when I boot up I am given the option of booting into either. I have been My Computer and F is blank, nothing on it at all, and yes, I had selected 'Show Hidden Files'. The question is, how do I get rid of it please?Also on booting up I am asked for a password, I don't have one and have to click on continue which it's quite happy to do. How do I get rid of this, it never used to before? Going into User Accounts I got rid of the Welcome bit.That will do for now I think though there is one more thing which doesn't suit which it is now doin on shut down but I'll leave that for now while I have a think on how best to describe it.

Alan2273 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 You need to edit out the one entry of XP in the Boot INI file.This will show you how to do it.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
