Guest Fernando Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Hello to all, I have a question regarding my pc running Windows XP media Center. I recently formated my HD and reinstalled windows. So, now every time that I turn the pc on appears: PLEASE SELECT THE OPERATIONAL SYSTEM TO START. wITH 02 OPTIONS: WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL AND WINDOWS XP MEDIA CENTER. What can I do to fix this? Thank you Fernando
Guest DL Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Re: Choose de operational system to start: No you didnt format your hd, leastways the one that the origonal win was installed on, so you now appear to have both installed. Does it start up from both?
