I have just installed a new hard drive. Because of this I had to reinstall WIN XP. Now when I start my system it says there are three Window XP operating systems to choose from. How can get rid of the extra lines in startup? I have formated the drive three times now.

Thanks

I don't know what caused them but all you have to do is remove the extra entries from BOOT.INI. You can either edit directly or go thru My Computer->Properties->Advanced->Startup and Recovery

You can right-click on My computer ? properties ? Advanced? Startup and Recovery
And then choose Edit to edit your Boot.ini file or you can go to c:\ in My Computer, use Folder options to display hidden files, and then edit the Boot.ini file directly and remove the unneeded lines.
