Do you have a boot manager installed?
Do you have a mixture of XP/Win95/Win98/2K on the same PC?
This is perfectly routine, if you do.
It sounds like you have two versions of Windows installed. This is entirely possible (and actually quite common in these circumstances).
Check your
boot.ini file.
It will likely look something like this:
Code:
[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows="Microsoft Windows XP Home" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home" /fastdetect
Note the fact that there are two sections above, one referring to multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows and one to multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
If there is only one line, check to see if it's the
Windows or
WINDOWS. Which ever one is in your boot.ini file is the one that is being used by your PC. You can safely delete the other one. Of course, this is assuming you don't WANT two versions on your hard-drive (which is something some people do).
