Changing the OS choices menu?

I had a bad installation of WinXP and reinstalled it, after which I deleted the bad installation of Windows. Unfortunately, there are two versions of WinXP in the OS choices menu at start up. I would like to either remove the bad version of Windows (which happens to be the first option on the list), or at least be able to change the number of seconds I have to choose - I am only given 2 seconds. Thanks!
 
well one of the easiest ways to do this edit the boot.ini file. Open up Notepad
and open on the c:\ boot.ini file. Its a hidden file so you may have to turn on show hidden files.

It will look something like this

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect


timeout = how many seconds
and under the [operating systems] section you can delete the doubled os listing
