   XP Reinstall - Boot Question

   XP Home, SP3   
      
   After reinstalling the XP Home, I now find that when I restart or   
   reboot that I get the B&W screen asking me to select which version of   
   Windows that I want to boot.   
      
   The default at the top is the copy of XP on the C drive.  The second   
   choice, when/if selected is non-existent.  I think it is trying to   
   find the copy from the installer CD.   
      
   I lack the knowledge as to what I have to do to kill off this   
   unnecessary delay.  It does eventually boot to the default OS but I'd   
   like to skip this step if possible.   
      
   Is there something in F1-Setup I need to do?   
      
   Thanks
