I have two copys of windows xp professional, in my dual boot menu. it had because i reinstalled xp, and i did i New install this time, instead of an upgrade wich i did the first time. how do i get rid of the second copy on the dual boot window, wich i think is taking up some space?

Control Panel/System/Avanced tab/Startup and Recovery/Settings, then unchceck "Time to display list of Operating Systems". This will then boot straight into Windows XP without the dual boot screen.

First make a backup copy of the hidden file c:\boot.ini. Same location as ja's post but press the edit button instead. Get rid of the line under "operating Systems" that refers to the deleted installation. If they are identical just delete one, if not delete the correct one. This will fix the boot menu.
