Ok, have a slight problem............ I have a Dell Optiplex GX260 running XP Home. It has 3 hard drives (C,D, & E). Now, XP Home edition is installed on hard drive C. A while ago, i installed XP Pro on a different hard drive (E). I deleted XP Pro recently, but when I turn my computer on, it still gives me the option to either boot with XP Pro, or XP Home. How do I have it start up automatically with XP Home again? (How do I delete the XP Pro from the OS boot menu???) Thanks!

Jump to PostBoot Into An XP Recover Console (dos prompt like thing), and do a:
FIXMBR and probably FIXBOOT too. That Should take care of things :)
Jump to PostRight Click My Computer -- Properties -- Advanced --- click on start up and recovery oprtions -- choose your default operating system .. and make the time to display operating system options less than 30.
