I have been trying to reinstall Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 on my Dell XPS Gen 5 computer. Every time I try a clean install and the computer reboots for the first time it comes up with a duel operating system que asking me to choose between XP and Media Center during the boot up.

If I select Media Center it boots normally but if I select XP it tells me the OS does not exist.I am not sure why it is even seeing XP as an OS system option when XP Media Center is what I installed.Anyone have any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to make it stop asking me which one I want to boot into?Thanks for your help. Windows XP may be referencing an invalid entry in your boot.ini file. Log on to the operating system that allows you to boot to Windows. At start (lower left corner of the desktop screen), click run and type msconfig. At the boot.ini tab, click check all boot paths. If all are ok, Windows will state that and prompt you to restart.
If not, you will be asked to remove the invalid entry. Check the spelling of the os name, delete the invalid entry when prompted and restart the computer. You should be able to reinstall the os at this point.
