Double OS system on PC

[Lorenzo]

I need help. I had Windows XP home edition on my computer
(2.8Ghz P4) and decided to install Windows XP
Professional. I assumed that XP Pro would over-write the
Home edition. It did not. Now every time that I boot up I
get a screen that asks me which of the two systems I want
to use to continue the booting. It's a pain to have to sit
there and choose XP Pro every time. Can someone tell me if
it's possible to get rid of this initial screen without
having to format the HD and re-install all my software?
