Sounds like you did a parallel install of XP, meaning you now have both versions on the hard drive. No easy way to remove one of them, aside from a reformat and clean reinstall. Run msconfig and click Boot.Ini tab. Click "Check Boot Paths" button and accept the offer to remove the invalid one. If it says they're both valid, you'll have to manually edit the boot.ini file to remove XP home from the boot menu. Be sure to follow the directions carefully. Ron
