I have 2 versions of Windows on my computer
                            
            I did a system recovery on my Compaq Presario and the next time I turned my computer on it said compressed ntdr press alt ctrl delete to restart.  That didn't work so I used my friends Windows XP Pro disk to do a restore.  All my music and pictures were gone.  Tonight when I first turned on my computer there was a line for me to click on Windows Pro or Windows Home.  When I clicked on Windows Home everything I thought I'd lost came up.  I tried it a few times and then when I turned the computer on the last time, only one version came up.  I'm concerned because it seems that I have 2 versions of windows on my computer.  What do I do?

    If you go to control panel, select System then go to the Advanced tab, click on Settings in Startup and Recovery section
You should then see a drop down list with your current operating systems.
Are there two listed? If not and its just the one then I think what has happened is that you may of upgraded rather than installed a fresh copy of windows.
This sounds like it since you are not getting the two o/s listed anymore.
Part of the install process of Windows, it does reboot and this is probably why you saw the old version temporarily.
Are all your installed programs working correctly?
I suggest you backup all your precious files.
This copy of Windows, has it been registered with MS? You may find that you might need to activate it.

    Hey, guys, I want to recommend you a PC cleaner, the software "tuneup360".  It's very easy to handle and of course very powerful, you can have try, I'm sure it can improve your computer performance.
