I have my comp. partitioned C:\ & D:\. I had XP on the D drive at first but something had the comp fooling around and I reinstalled it on the C drive and just deleted the 1 on the D drive afterwards. Now I have 2 choices of Windows XP at the boot screen, and I wanna know how to delete the XP choice that isnt there anymore.
 
You edit boot.ini

Hi Corey,

Go to Start/Run and type in: msconfig
Then go to the Boot.ini Tab and click on Check All Boot Paths. If you
receive a warning about a duplicate path: Do you want to remove, choose
yes.

Or...

Right click the My Computer icon/Properties/Advanced/Startup and
Recovery/Settings/System Startup/Edit.
