Hi there,\n\nthere is no way of "switching" from system32 to system. system32 is an irreplaceable part of modern windows(TM) operating systems.

There's a way to deactivate that menu. If you have Win Xp and if it starts, click Start -> system panel or configuration panel (something panel) -> then in the panel window look for SYSTEM and click twice on it -> in the next window click on ADVANCED in the choices at the top of the window. then under ADVANCED you'll find 3 buttons called parameters, click on the 3rd, in the next window unmark the two first option-squares and click OK. Restart your computer.Please if this works(I hope), give me ten points. Thank you. Good luck.

Put the xp cd in and boot from the cd. Choose clean install. When it is finished you will be able to use xp normally

Go to Start/Run  \n\nType in msconfig\n\nThere's a startup tab, click that and uncheck whatever you want in that list.

If you have Windows, do this  Start -> Run -> type in msconfig press ok\n\nIn this command go to startup and all the boxes that are checked, uncheck all the ones you DONT need when you start the PC up, all these programs run when you start the PC and take up processor power.  Just be careful, if it is a Microsoft one, or a System32 one dont uncheck it, the system needs those to run.

Boot To XP.\n\nGo to command prompt by typing CMD in Run or Start --> Accessories --> Command Prompt.\n\ntype followings\n\ncd &#92;\nattrib -r -s -h boot.ini\ncopy boot.ini boot.bak\nedit boot.ini\n\nnow delete off the operating system that you don't want and set the timeout value to 0.\n\nif you have Windows XP as default, you can just give timeout value to 0, the boot menu will just flicker.\n\n<alt> + File, Save and exit.\n\ntype\n\nattrib +r +s +h boot.ini\n\nReboot. You don't have the boot menu anymore.\n\nBrowse to Win 03 drive delete all that you don't want.

STOP!  DO NOTHING!\nYou will have to pass the computer to someone who knows what they're doing...\nYour machine is currently dual boot, 98 and XP.\nWhen you startup, a menu is presented with the choice of which OS to use.  The details of available operating systems are held in a file (boot.ini) on the C: drive - which is where the W98 is...\nIf you clear/format this drive your PC won't know how to start.\nIf you rid yourself of the W98 partition (so that you can use the space for XP....  screwed again!  All the software loaded under XP (including XP itself) will expect to find XP on the D drive, but it will be the C: drive now.  Nothing will run.\nI recommend that you leave it be!  If it ain't broke don't fix it.\nThere are options in the boot.ini which can cause the XP to be selected as default, and for the menu to chose the default after a certain number of seconds - try setting this to 1.\nBUT FIRST.  Start up W98. use Control Panel to unload all software except W98.  defrag the drive. now you can use any remaining space from XP - for backups perhaps...\n\nBE CAREFUL.  This is a dangerous forum in which to seek technical assistance.  \n\nThe link below gives more about boot.ini\n\nBe Lucky!

There should really only be XP Home Full or XP Home Upgrade.  I'm not aware of any variations on the home edition in terms of versions.  And there's no volume licensing for it, so any version of home should work unless you try to install the full version and only have an upgrade key - then you'll need a key from a previous version of Windows.

Assuming you have a full version windows XP disc. The first thing you should do is go into your bios and  change your boot order so the cd rom is the first to boot. With that being completed, put the disc in the cd rom and restart your system. As your system is starting up, it will tell you to push a button or it will boot as normal into windows. Once you are running from the XP disc, you can format and set your partitions before you install XP back on your system.

There is no program available that will automatically do this. You need to either know the make and model of your original computer, or the statistics such as processor speed, hard drive space, and amount of RAM. You can see the minimum system requirements for Windows XP at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/evaluation/sysreqs.mspx

Step 1:  Get rid of windows ME.  It's crappy and nobody uses it anymore, because nobody liked it in the first place.  You can run either windows 98 or windows 2000 on that machine.  \n\nStep 2:  Follow step 1, your problem will be solved.

You can, but it is alot more difficult in 98 then it is in xp as an administrator.\n\nyou can do it natively through the windows registry. for more information on how to do it., goto the webpage i posted below from Microsoft®. \n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];q179221#kb1\n\nThere are also external software packages that will help do it for you. What it does is basically make it more user friendly, but is doing the same thing at the end of the day.

check in your start up ..\nGo to START > RUN > type in " msconfig >\nthen go to START UP it should be there to uncheck\n\nIf it still runs it is probably needs to be deleted in your registry \nThat's START > RUN > Type in "regedit > click on \nHKEY_current_USER >Software> Microsoft> Windows> Current Version>Run ...what you need to delete should be here or in\n\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\n>Software> Microsoft> Windows> Current Version> Run or run once
