Choice which operating system to boot

J

I had to replace my hard drive, so I hooked up my old hard
drive and my new one to a totally different machine, and
copied everything over, using Windows Explorer. I then
hooked my new hard drive up, but it would not boot, so I
started a repair install from the CD, but it still would
not continue the setup. So I went through the recovery
console and typed in

bootcfg /rebuild
FIXBOOT
FIXMBR

Now everything works, except right at the startup it gives
me two choices of which operating system I want to boot
up. They are

1
and
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition

How can I get rid of the number 1 and have it boot into XP
automatically?
Sorry about the long post. I just wanted to be thorough.

Right click My Computer and select Properties
On the Advanced tab select Startup and Recovery Settings
In the box labelled System Startup, select the default operating system
Uncheck the box labelled "Time to display list of operating systems"
Click OK, OK

It should now boot to the OS you selected automatically, without delay
