How to remove dual boot screen?

I had a Win 2000 machine and went to Win XP Pro. I put the Win XP Pro disk in and rebooted. In the setup for Win XP I completely formatted the hard drive and proceeded to install Win XP. Now whenever I boot up I get a dual boot message asking if I want to boot into Win 2000 or Win XP. I know it is a minor problem, but is there a simple fix?
 
Do a search for your boot.ini file. Remove duplicate lines. (Make a copy incase you mess up). It's a hidden/system file so you'll need to be able to view those files to find it. You can find that under My Computer / tools / folder Options / View

Here is my boot.ini file.

[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
 
I got a similar question except that I have two installs of XP. Will it be the same fix?

edit: it was pretty similar. Thanks, I got it handled. 🙂
