Hello
i have recently installed xp on my second computer's
harddrive.
To do so i put the 2nd computers' harddrive in my first
computer as a slave and installed it... then uninstalled
the hardrive and put it back in my second computer

But unfortunately now when i start up my computer it asks
me which OS i want to start the computer with... even
though i only have one OS on the computer...

What do i have to do so i can get rid of that "startup
question" and make the computer understand there is only
one OS on the computer... ( is it something in the bios
setup??)

Thanks for your help
