delete one os startup option from booting

[elio]

Hello

Win xp pro sp1

A while ago while trying to do a repair install, I
accidentally started to intstall another version of win
xp. At least that's what I think I did because now when I
boot up, I am given two boot options:

1) windows xp pro
2) windows xp pro setup

If I try boot off the setup one, I blue screen.

When I try to do a repair install of the real os, I
always blue screen because I think it is trying to do a
repair install of the "setup" boot.

How can I delete the "setup" boot. Is it as simple as
modifying the boot.ini file?

Here is my boot.ini file:

[Boot Loader]
Timeout=5
Default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft
Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional Setup"

Thanks in advance.
