Windows Whistler Personal/Something weird after install

I installed XP Pro on my aunt's computer this morning and then when I booted up for the first time...it said "Which operating system would you like to boot: Windows XP Professional or Windows Whistler Personal"

What is Windows Whistler Personal, and how did it end up being installed after I did a reformat of the HDD and installed XP Pro the way I have before like 50 times. Has anyone heard of Whistler Personal? Also when I reboot now I still get that screen asking which one I want to boot, is there anyway to make XP Pro the permanent OS?

Sure there is, right click on My computer>Properties>Advanced>Startup and Recovery/Settings and set your parameters from there.
