Home Edition dual boot???

I reloaded windows XP Home in a Dell Inspireon and all went well. I formatted the drive and reload without a hitch....Except for one problem..
When I start the computer now I have to select from Home Edition or Home Edition almost like I have a dual boot system-as a matter of fact that is what it looks like exactly...
Now I only loaded windows once-I formatted when I loaded and there was not a hitch on the install...any ideas???

The link rjfvillarosa gave you tells you the fix, I have seen this often, most of the time with Dell's.
