Hello,

After formatting and reinstalling windows xp home
edition, when I boot, there are 2 options of which
operation system to boot. Both are windows xp home, and
only one is a working version. When I select the good,
it boots fine and all is well. I would like to get rid
of the second option so it just boots straight into
windows.

thanks
Jim
