I'm running WinXP Home Ed. on my primary HD C:. I recently installed WinXP Pro on my secondary HD D:, I just formated drive D: to go back to WinXP Home Ed. but I still get the choose OS screen on boot-up. Anyway I can remove the WinXP Pro choice so that my computer will boot automaticly to Home Ed. like it did before I installed Pro, without reformatting?

Do I click edit and delete the multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect string or just select Home Ed. as default from the pulldown?
