2 OS but I only want one

Hi Group,

I recently formatted my laptop and now have 2 partitions. One with XP Home
(which I thought I could use) and XP Pro on the other partition.
2 Questions:
How do I get rid of the XP Home on the first partition without losing the
partition so that I can store my data on it?
How do I stop my start up screen from showing me both OS and that I have to
chose the one that I want, in this case PRO?

I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Go to Start > Run and type in: MSCONFIG , and hit enter,
Click the BOOT.INI tab.
Next, click "Check All Boot Paths".
This procedure should correct your BOOT.INI file.
