Re: please select the operating system to start

Did you load winxp twice!!
Right click mycomputer/ ,properties/advanced ,Startup and recovery/settings /uncheck time to display operation system to get rid of the choice, or set it to 5 to give you a chance to choose one OS or The other .

Re: please select the operating system to start

I don't see that as a problem ,more like normal and someday you'll be glad it there so you can hit f2 to getinto the bios and fix something .
Having said that i do believe that if you hit f2 and enter setup ,you might find somewhere to disable the boot test or something like that .

Re: please select the operating system to start

all you need to do is :
1)Go to Start -> Run
2) Type msconfig
3) Go to BOOT.ini
4)Under the [Operating Systems] line you see 2 operating system (WINDOWS = AAA , where AAA is the Windows name)
5)Click "Check all boot paths".
6)It will detect one of them is undetected. Select to delete it.


I had this problem after I installed Windows XP SP3 and this solved for me.
