Hello...
Re: Acer TravelMate 2480
I deleted all partitions, formatted disk from FAT32 to NTFS and did a clean install of XP Home SP2. I then installed a pared down version of Acer 2480 drivers and software because I hate junk.
Everything is okay except on startup I now have to "choose" one of 3 Home versions listed to boot from? (Notebook was previously owned).
To doublecheck, I booted from XP installation disk and only 1 partition with 1 XP install are shown.
How can previous installations of Home still be present on a newly formatted, cleanly installed disk?

). I've only seen something like that when I was trying to install Windows 2000 on a hard drive that had been partially wiped (started but interrupted before finishing) using dban or similar software. After I used the appropriate software to completely wipe it, it was back to normal and I could format and install a partition just fine.
