OS Boot

Comment:

Hi there! I'm running Windows XP and when I boot up there are 2 options, one is a useless option which it set to default and one is the actual OS. I'm assuming something went wrong when I last formatted my PC. How can I set the real OS to the default boot and remove the other one all together? If you need more info to help just ask.
