On booting up, my bios shows a selection for 2 Windows XP's.
Both are the same, how do I get rid of this prompt screen so that it
can continue to boot up automatically?

Search for the boot.ini file, open with Notepad, delete the second entry &
save.

Go to Control Panel, System, Advanced, Startup and Recovery. In the System
Startup section, click Edit. This will bring up your BOOT.INI file. Remove
the second reference to the XP installation. If you're not sure of what to
remove, post back with the contents of your BOOT.INI file.
