Not MS-DOS, that's the boot menu.
Try this.
Check All Boot Paths
Start | Run | Type: msconfig | Click OK |
Boot.ini tab | Check All Boot Paths button |
A dialog box will open detailing the location of any invalid operating
system locations | Confirm you want to remove the entry and reboot
[[Check All Boot Paths - This button will check the boot paths for all
operating systems listed in the BOOT.INI to ensure they point to a valid
operating system. ]]

If there is only one you will get:
It appears that all BOOT.INI lines for Microsoft operating systems are
OK.
A dialog box will open detailing the location of any invalid operating
system locations.
Similar to this...
-------------------
It appears that the following line in the BOOT.INI file does not refer
to a valid operating system:
"multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional " /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn"
Would you like to remove it from the BOOT.INI file?

For some reason reason a MS Dos screen comes up before booting to
windows. The MS Dos screen is always asking me which Microsoft Windows
XP Home Edition I want to boot. (It always displays 2 options, however
they are the same) When we got the computer we had to reinstall Windows
XP. Could this have caused the MS Dos screen to boot every time? And if
so, how can I get around it for future start ups?
