Default 2 XP's on Boot?

I have just had to reinstall Windows XP and for some reason when the computer boots up it gives you a choice of 2 windows xp installs. Now i know that there is only one install of xp on this computer but what im not sure about it how to get rid of this message when the computer boots up.

Its not a major issue but its a little bit annoying. Im sure its quite a simple fix so any help would be much appreciated.

Ta muchley,

Default Re: 2 XP's on Boot?

You should be able to edit your boot.ini file, this is in the root of your C: drive and is hidden as a system file. However, a single mistake can make your machine unbootable. Thankfully you can edit it in MSCONFIG, under the Boot tab.
