Boot Up Problems (2 Choices of OS Startup

[Guest]

hi,

i recently installed windows xp home edition again by accident (long story,
but it was an accident) because i was formatting my 2nd hard drive that i
just installed through the windows xp cd for some reason but half way through
formatting i had to go somewhere, and when i got back i found windows xp
trying to install again onto my old hard drive but luckily it froze with 33
minutes to go. i successfully formatted my 2nd hard drive through disk
management but when i turn my computer on it asks me which windows xp home
dition i want to run, the top one being the frozen installtion and the
bottom one being my current configuration that im using right now and i want
to continue using as i have alot of valuable things on this configuration.

so can someone help me out as to getting rid of these two choices as i just
want to pres my power button and if i walk away i can come back and be on my
desktop.

PS obviously the formatting of the 2nd hard drive didnt make these choices
disappear which my friend said they would.

I have two installations of XP on the same partition, how do I remove the
one I don't need?

[[You reinstalled Windows XP on your computer thinking it would overwrite
the existing version of Windows XP and now there are two copies when you
boot up. Crap! What to do now? Not to worry, here's the solution.]]
