    I have just installed Windows XP on an HP Brio pc. While doing so I deleted the original partitions and then formatted the hard drive. When it was all completed, during boot up I was still prompted to Choose operating system: Windows XP
    Win 2K Pro
    I was wondering how I can get the installation to avoid prompting for this. Any ideas would be of great help.

    Thanks.

    Two ways
    1) boot to a floppy & fdisk /mbr
    or
    2) in windows
    Right click My Computer > Properties> Advance Tab > Start Up & Recovery
    Settings.. Select your OS and set the time out to 0.
