Dual Boot?
I have a Win 98 PC that had a Win XP disc placed into it. Now when I turn on the PC it goes to a screen that asks if I want to continue to install Win XP or load Win 98. I want to eliminate this screen so Win 98 starts right up. Win XP was never completly installed because XP doesn't support that particular video card that is in that PC (Diamond V770 Ultra). I know I read how to do this once before but I can't find it.

I need to do this in Win 98, XP was never fully installed. So the "startup and recovery" options are not even available.

the option that is highlighted when it boots up is "Windows XP Professional setup". I have to use the arrow down to highlight "Microsoft Windows" then press enter for it to boot up to Win 98. What I would like to do is eliminate the XP setup screen and load Win 98 right away.
