Re: installing windows xp

Hi,

So what is your objective? Which one do you want to retain, and which do you
want to lose?

In addition, click start/run, type C:\boot.ini and click ok. From the
resulting notepad, click edit/select all/edit/copy. Open a response to this
post and answer the above questions. Then start a new line and hit ctrl+v to
paste the contents of boot.ini so we can tell you how to fix it.
