Managed to repair all the problems I had before except this one :
After dropping in the XP Pro CD to check and see if I had partitioned the drive accidentally ( I did not) now whenever I reboot it asks me if I want to load XP Pro, XP Home ( which was the OS that was formerly on the HD that is supposed to be gone now that I did a clean install of XP Pro ) or to Finish the install of XP Pro that I began to check the hard drive for partitions.
Is there some files I can erase to fix this? Is the install info loaded somewhere that I can remove? How do I make the BIOS ( I assume that is what is fubar'd at the moment) recognize that there is only 1 OS installed? There are 3 sections in the HD area on the disc...1 that has XP Pro on it and 2 that are unformatted and empty..an 8 Meg one and a 38 Meg one.
How do I get rid of these unformatted and blank sections on my drive? How can I get the damn thing to boot correctly?
thanks again for the help,
