So, I got my machine up and running and all is well! The only problem I had was installing XP. Originally, I was trying to copy files w/o running smartdrv.exe so the machine would hang. So I re-booted and ran smartdrv.exe first then installed windows and everything is fine. except before XP boots, it asks which OS I want to install, XP or "old operating system" Apparently it thinks there is another OS installed. Is there anyway I can get rid of this, or do I have to reformat? I used NTFS on both system and audio drives

the easy fix here is to open the boot.ini on the root of the os
the easy fix here is to open the boot.ini on the root of the os drive(notepad will work). make a backup before you do anything. then look at the [operating systems] section and remove the line referencing the old operating system. this should take care of the boot issue. not sure why your getting this though.
