I had a laptop with XP Home on it, and i wanted to reformat and install PRO.
So, i kicked off the install of Windows XP, removed all the sectors that had been setup, reformatted the hard disk fully, however its now giving me the option at startup to bootup using either XP Pro or XP Home?
Anyone know how to get rid of the XP Home option?

Can't see how that happened if you really did format the computer hard drive.
The only other thing I can think of is if you have a partition that also has a boot.ini file. You can edit the boot.ini file using notepad but work on a copy.0 -

I removed all partitions and did a reformat of the HD allowing it to make that one single partition the size of all available space. There were no other partitions there for it to get confused by?
What will i need to do to the boot.ini file?0 -
Control Panel --> System --> Advanced tab --> Startup & Recovery Settings --> Edit
You can also set Pro as your default OS and uncheck “Time to display list of operating systems’
:cool:
