Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Settings (under startup and
recovery). In the section titled 'System startup' you can configure how
long to display the startup menu and the default OS, but more importantly
you should see an Edit button where you can edit the boot.ini directly. All
you should have to do is get rid of whichever line underneath [operating
systems] refers to an OS that does not exist. Just be careful because if
you delete the wrong data then your system may not boot at all any more.
