Boot selection problem during start up

My install of windows got corrupted to the point where it
could not load and the windows disc could not repair the
installation. So I loaded XP onto my slave hard drive to
recover any file from my primary drive. I then formatted
and did a clean install of XP. Now when I boot my
computer it asks what OS to boot, with both options being
XP pro, even though I have since removed the installation
on the slave. How can I get it back to acting like a
normal single boot system?

Thanks in advance,
Jim

Start - Run - "msconfig" - "BOOT.INI" tab lets you remove the unwanted
option. Be careful, and remove just the one you don't want to keep.
