splat Problem with xp boot

Had to reformat and install xp. Had some problems doing this but, got it to load. Now I have a screen before xp starts, it asks for me to choose between xp home edition or windows. I believe it thinks I loaded two operating systems. Is there an easy way to fix this?

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Joseph S

Have a look in the boot.ini file, there will be two entries under operating systems, (type msconfig at run command)

Check out this link first.
