Last night I got home and installed another HDD (Matrox). I got into my main HDD with the OS on it and set up the new HDD. Like a dummy I just choose for the computer to recognize it as an "additional storage device" instead of a "bootable device".
I then tried to install Win XP on it and that didn't go over well. To make a long story short I have now caused it so that when I boot my computer it has the option to choose between two OS's. 1 is faulty (faulty in the sense that it selects that "OS" and give an error message) and no longer exists, the second is the original and is working fine.
The problem is when its booting it always chooses the first OS (which is
the faulty one) and gives me an error message. Then I have to reboot and
manually choose the second OS for it to load. My question is, after all
that, what can I do to get the CPU to stop recognizing the faulty OS and automatically select the second one? Is there a way that I can enable a counter at this point so that I can choice instead of hitting F1 repeatedly to allow me to select between the two?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
