following on from this thread http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...format-115884/ , i put in the HDD into my mams and formatted and it worked

but now on my mams when i boot it up there is 2 operating systems listed and i have to select one before it will load, and obviously one wont work as the HDD is no longer there, is there a way to delete one?

you need to go into the boot menu
run/msconfig
select Boot option and the two should be in there, select and delete the one you don't want or set the one you want as default.

What did you do?

Guess you put windows disc in your mams pc rather than just 'blanking' your bros hdd?

my mams HDD is sata and bros was IDE, so i set it as a slave with the IDE cable from my bros, but when i took it out after formatting it was still showing it as having 2 operating sytems

did you go 'my computer' D Drive Format then removed it
or jambed the windows disc in, find this intreasting.

This could be of use Windows XP: 2 versions of XP installed - Startup, ended arrow, mouse connection

tried formatinng it via my computer but the windows disc said to boot from disc to erase the old partition etc, so i just booted from disc and done it that way
