Ways to remove clingy vista entry in Bootmenu?

Scenario: I installed windows xp 64bit OS in C drive. Later installed Windows Vista 32 bit OS in E partition. After this whenever I boot there will be two OS's to choose from for 30seconds.
Later, removed Windows vista by formatting the E partition when booted in Windows xp64bit (which is in C) due to its bloated, resource hogging nature.

Problem which I encounter: Even after removing windows Vista, Whenever I boot 2 OS'es are displayed in bootmenu even the vista entry is junk. I have to manually choose windows xp to boot into xp.

What I want to accomplish:
when I boot I want the system to directly go into windows xp without displaying the irrelevant vista entry.

I request anyone who knows ways to accomplish this ( removing irrelevant vista entry from OS list in boot loader ) to post it in the reply.

Thanks!
That did it...anyways,for some reasons I didn't get Recovery Console option while using windows xp 64 boot CD. However using a windows xp 32 bit --> recovery console --> fixboot & fixmbr solved this problem.
