Thanks for thr responses. I am fairly certain I deleted all partitions and
formatted the entire hard drive. (The D for delete and the L to confirm).
If I did install two operating systems, would I be able to see that in
windows explorer. Mike's suggestion clears makes the startup question go
away but but I am curious what is really going on here.

I recently did a clean reinstall of windows XP. Now at startup, I get the
question "select the system you want to start" and there are two choices,
both exactly the same (Windows XP). I did not see anything unusual during
the partitioning/formatting process. My intent was to have a single
partition with a single O/S. Everything works but I would prefer not to
have to confront that question each time. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
That sounds very much that what you did was *not* a clean
installation, and you now have Windows installed twice.
Exactly how did you do this "clean" installation? Did you boot from
the Windows XP CD and follow the prompts for a clean installation
(delete the existing partition by pressing "D" when prompted, then
create a new one)?
