Start up issue

I had a System 32 file issue and had to copy the system 32 file over from my XP disk. I messed up a couple of times typing out all those commands and now when my computer starts it asks me which operating system I would like to start

C:/
C:/CD
Windows XP professional

How do I delete those other two which are not OS?

Thanks in advance for all your feedback.

I think this will work. From the run command, type: msconfig

From there, you will choose the boot tab. Then you can delete the options that aren't valid.

Yup, you'll need to edit the boot.ini. Please read the following before proceeding and make a backup!
