dual installation of XP Home edition

a friend of mine couldn't get his computer to work so
reinstalled Home edition on his computer. Now when it
starts the boot process, it goes to a screen and asks
which of the 2 listings he wants to bot up to. The second
one is corrupted. How can he remove the "bad" one?
 
Go to Start > Run and type in: MSCONFIG , and hit enter,
Click the BOOT.INI tab.
Next, click "Check All Boot Paths".
This procedure should correct your BOOT.INI file.

PSeager: It isn't clear that your friend's two installations
of WinXP Home are in the same partition or not. Please
post back to say whether this procedure worked for your
friend
