Default Computer boots to black screen to choose windows

I had to format the hard drive on my Computer. I
formatted the C: dirve. Now everything is fine but when
I start the computer it first goes to a black screen
asking me to choose a operating system and both are
Windows XP. I only have one version installed. If I hit
the enter key to continues to windows and all is fine.
How do I get rid of the black screen where I have to
choose? Thank you

After booting up use Msconfig ---- Start | Run | Msconfig. Choose the
boot.ini tab. Click on check all boot paths.
