If you saw my post from yesterday, I now have C: D: E: with XP home
on C: and (looks like) a remnant on D: which causes me to get 2
WinXP home boot options. Booting the first, everything's fine.
Booting the second gives me a corruption error.
I have "formatted" d: and there are no files on it except for a
hidden "System volume Folder" with (apparently) nothing in it.
Anyway, I'd like to get rid of the second boot option. How do I do
that? Also, can I blow away that "system volume folder" on D:? How?

Edit the BOOT.INI file.
