How to Remove NT from XP system?

Right now i'm prompted when i boot to choose between NT or XP, is there any way to remove NT? I don't think there are any files on NT that I need, & if there are can i just transfer them to the XP from the C drive?

i don't have any of the computers original discs (it came with XP & another person put NT on & erased XP, I've reloaded XP with my other computers XP disc) i'm just worried i'll lose my other Microsoft products Excel....once again no discs...

any help is great!

Boot into Xp. Start\control panel\system\advanced\star up and recovery. Under system start up. Choose Windows XP as default. Clear the box that says "display a list of operating systems".

Click your way out and on restart XP should load on it`s own.

Thanks for the quick response, i'll do that, but that won't remove NT will it? i'm thinking i'll contact Dell & see if they can send me the computers original discs.....

No, that won`t remove NT but simply remove the option to boot to it when starting. It an be changed at any time.
