I've been given a Dell PC and when I boot it up it asks which OS I want to run:

  • Windows XP Home
  • Windows XP Professional setup

It looks like someone has started to install XP Professional on the same partition but didn't go through with it. Is there a way I can remove XP Professional so that XP Home boots automatically as it should?

Open Msconfig, go to the BOOT.INI Tab, click the "Check All Boot Paths" button to clean up the invalid entry.
