Are you sure, it may have just duplicated the menu item twice.
Run MSCONFIG.EXE and on Boot.ini select 'Check all Boot Paths'
to remove duplicate items or edit c:\boot.ini in Notepad.

Otherwise if you installed in C:\Windows and in C:\Winnt then delete
the OLDEST Windows folder. (Do a backup first)
