Title: My computer always asks which operating system to use......
Post by: mikeintai on November 21, 2007, 06:46:05 PM

While trying to fix a problem with xp, I started installing xp on my second harddrive. I cancelled the installaton but my computer always sees this second O.S and asks me which operating system to use upon startup. I have already re-formated the harddrive, but my computer still sees the second operating system....Any ideas on how to solve this thanks.....
