Go to your C: drive, and open boot.ini
You should see two lines that look similar to this: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect Delete one of them. Keep in mind, though, you still have 2 versions of the OS installed. |

In windows XP, you need to open the "System" applet. Open control panel and printer other hardware and you will see the system on the left hand side. Click on the advanced tab and click the settings button in the startup and recovery area. Click the edit button in the upper system startup section. That brings up the boot.ini. Just do what N8 said earlier and voila. Hope this helps.
