i have windows installed two times on my computer somehow,
when i start my computer i have to pick between the two to
choose which one to start in, how do i get rid of one of
these? thanks
 
You can delete the windows directory for the second install (possibly
\winnt2)

Control Panel|System|Advanced|Startup and Recovery, choose the correct
System Startup option as default, then you'll need to delete the options you
want removed from the boot.ini

Explorer|Tools|Folder Options|View, then radio button for "Show hidden files
and folders", then uncheck the box for "Hide protected operating system
files" to locate the files in the system partition.
