re: how do I get rid of this win xp setup when I start my computer after uninstalling windows xp? Thursday, February 20, 2003 at 9:57 am Posted by Elan Shudnow (91 messages posted) try this, use a startup disk, boot into dos, type sys a: c: This should overwrite the bootloader program to use dos files only (for win9x) instead of using the ntldr. It also depends on how you got rid of xp and went to 98. Just try what i said, and if it didn't work, i'll help you more. If it did work, i'd like to know also. I hope it works for you, good luck.

Sunday, November 16, 2003 at 7:25 pm Posted by Izzaldeen (3 messages posted) Simple : I think you windows xp installation cd still in the CPU. Remove it and it will start normally. So basically you must remove the cd after the second boot or after the copying activities end. This is what happened to me back then and at last I have configured it by myself by actually take out the cd. Hopes this helps.
