it sounds like you got windows installed twice, you may need to delete one of them.

you might try to boot with the cd, and do a repair install, or you can boot with boot disk and then remove one of the partitions, or even wipe out the hard drive and do a full install new.
I'm just not shure which would be the best method for you. |

If there is only one windows installation in that list, it's 1.
What do you plan to do when you are in the console? All you are going to have is a C prompt. |
