UNSOLVED
one last step??
Hi again,
I made a post, a few posts back on the board, titled "restoring my dell"....and the information posted helped me out alot. There is just one more thing i need help with. After deleting the partitions and re-installing XP Home on my Dell 2400, it turned out to be a very sucessful clean install, but now every time the computer comes on, it comes to a dos type screen and askes me to selecet which operating system to load(boot). There are two selections and they are both the same, Windows Xp Home Edition. There is a timer also that if I don't select any of the two it starts up fine. How do i fix this problem...does the computer think there are two op's on this computer?
Thanks.

Yes, it does, and that is a fairly common problem. You can resolve it by editing the boot.ini file to remove the reference to the "phantom" operating system. Instructions are here.
