So, I just purchased a used Inspiron 6000. The person before me had installed Windows Vista. I found out that he had originally had XP Pro and upgraded to Vista. I know Vista and my Intel graphics are not that compatible with each other. I just formatted and reinstalled XP Pro but when Windows begins to load I get a menu asking which operating system would I like to use: Windows XP Pro or Windows XP Pro (it does not show Vista). This was happening to me when I had Vista also but my options were XP Pro or Vista. I only have one partition which was formatted and Windows XP was reinstalled on it. How do I get rid of this dual boot menu so that every time I start my computer I do not have to deal with it and why is it showing up if I just did a clean format? Thanks.
You may have overlooked the opportunity for cleanliness that is presented shortly after booting to the Windows XP CD, by first deleting and then re-creating and formatting the partition before continuing with the installation.
Have you gone to msconfig > Boot ini > check boot paths and see if one is incorrect or invalid? If one is I believe you can delete the invalid one and this shoud remedy your issue.
