Wait, I thought you wanted the old installation of windows to use???????????

There is another line in the .ini file that isn't needed too so I removed in the following boot.ini examples

I am sorry for the confusion, if you want to use the new install of windows make your boot.ini look like this

timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

And if you want to use the old windows it should look like this

timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

The only difference is the (S) at the end of windows which points to the different windows folders

i meant new very sorry. very sorry.

but yeah it works perfect awesome. thanks so much for the help.

No problem, just so it works and you are happy (-:

so i just delete the windows folder i dont want and remove its line from the boot file right.

I dont want that black screen to come up to choose xp I want to go straight into this xp.

First just make the correction to the boot.ini file and try it as is for a while to make sure it is going to work before you delete the Windows folder of the old install
