Accidental Installation of 2 MS XPs

[Tsuroku]

In the process of patitioning my new hard drive I accidently installed 2 XP's. When I noticed I had 2 OSs I deleted the partition that I had the second OS on. Now when I boot my computer it still asks which OS I want to use. How do I fix it so that the accidental OS fully deleted?

**Edit

I followed this guide:

That should do the trick right?

You nee to edit boot.ini and remove the line referencing the second OS but ensure you do remove the correct line.

RClick MyComputer and choose Properties.
On the Advanced tab go to the Startup and Recovery Settings.
Click on the Edit Button.

You should see code along the lines of:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

Suggest renaming one line so that when you reboot it is obvious which line doesnt function, viz:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="TO REMOVE" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

Finally when you only have one line under operating systems the menu will not be displayed at startup, viz:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
