Hi

I had Windows XP Professional on my system, and wanted to upgrade to Media Centre,
I started to install media centre and the pc crashed, now i have 2 options on the start up
Windows XP Pro and Windows XP Pro Setup,

How can i get rid of the XP Pro Setup?

Thanks
 
Edit your boot.ini file.

HOW TO: Edit the Boot.ini File in Windows XP (Q289022)

You can also look at the alternative command by typing bootcfg /? at a CMD Prompt.

The boot.ini file is a read only, system and hidden file which requires Hidden and System files to be made visible via Folder Options/ View.

You can also edit the Boot.ini file via Control Panel/ System/ Advanced/ Startup and Recovery/ Settings/ Edit

Which ever method you use you must remove the entry that is pointing to the missing operating system entry.
