Choose de operational system to start:

[Guest Fernando]

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

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?

No, doesn't start from both. If I choose Windows XP as a start option I have

an errot: WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\HALL.DLL missing or cprrupt

save it.
