Every time I boot, it asks me to select what OS I want?

Hi,

I recently installed Microsoft Home on a new hard drive. Everything seems OK, except every time I boot, my computer asks me what operating system I want to use.

How can I get it to just load automatically?

Thanks,

Rob

Go to settings-control panel-system and click on advanced.
Click on settings for startup and recovery.
You will see adrop down panel for "default operating system",choose the OS you want,make sure it's the right one.
Now change the time to display list to 0.
Reboot and it should boot to the OS you chose.
Did you format the drive with the \s option or did one install of OS fail?
