Windows XP boot question (botched install) **EDIT: Solved**

[VTrider]

Alright, when I boot the system and after post I get a message like this:

Please choose which Operating System:

Windows XP
Windows XP

The working and default installation is the first choice, the second choice is there because I botched a previous installation. Does anybody know how to delete the second choice so I don't have to hit enter (or wait 30 secs for default) to enter the OS? I really don't feel like reformatting and re-installing the OS again?!

TIA

Right-click My Computer, Properties, Advanced Tab, Startup & Recovery Settings, click Edit in the System Startup section. Notepad will open and you can remove the offending entry. From that page you can also change the 30-second countdown to whatever you want or to 0 to bypass it completely.
