I am working on a WinME box that has a failed install of WinXP on it. It boots to the OS choices prompt and defaults to WinXP setup with a short countdown. If left to boot into XP setup, it just goes to a BSOD. if WinME is selected it boots & functions normaly. How can I remove the OS choices prompt and XP setup?

You need to remove the old XP loader files ie NTLDR, Boot.ini, Ntdetect.com from C:\
Also you need to run fdisk /mbr to reset the Master boot record. Make sure on C:\ you have command.com, io.sys and msdos.sys to boot Me.
