2 OS to chose from at start up

I recently cleaned my hard drive and re-installed Windows XP. After
installing XP, I went to microsoft.com and updated all my software and
hardware drivers. Somewhere along the line (I had to restart my computer a
number of times), something happened that caused my computer to have me
choose between 2 OS's (both the same MS Windows XP Home Edition) before
Windows fires up.

Is there any way I can resolve this? Usually the 'first' MS Windows XP Home
Edition is selected--either by me or by default after countdown, but once I
tried the 'second' MS Windows XP, I got an error message and the cpt recycled.

Thanks, as always, for any help regarding this!
