Strange I install xp into c partition (which been deleted before the

After installation when I boot up, it shows dual boot and also in
the boot.ini. I also reformat the D partition after installation of
xp.

In the C partition, there is only 1 windows folder WINDOW
Although I can set the time to 5 sec instead of 30 sec in the
boot.ini, but I preferit does not show any " presence" of 2nd xp.
Is there anything wrong with the mobo/bios?

If you deleted the partition and then proceded to recreate the same
partition without a reboot - this can happen.

Your problem, however - is easily solved by editing the Boot.ini and
eliminating the bogus entry.
