    I installed windows xp on two different partitions and on startup I had the option to choose. Now I formatted one of the patitions wher I had windows xp installed on it but during startup I still get the option to choose even though I have only one operating system now. How can I remove that option now that I have only one OS

    Two options (see attached pic-control panel->system->advanced->startup):
    1. Change the "time to dispaly" to 1 second (easy method)
    2. Edit the boot.ini file via the edit button
