I just re-installed Win2K on my laptop after formating the HD and now it thinks I have two operating systems on the machine even though there is only one.

Is there a way to get rid of this menu so I it will boot faster?

Thanks,

Chris

The first entry is for Windows XP SP2 and last is for Windows XP (with or without SP1).
