Removing 2nd xp boot from boot.ini
I had bought several hard drives as is, hoping one of them would work. thought I had one, but turned out I couldn't install XP onto the disk, wouldn't copy any files. so I pretty much cut my loss on the drives and removed it the bad one from pc. now I get 2 options when booting windows. my original xp install, and the 2nd install that still needs to complete, how can I stop it from wanting to install xp again from the boot file and keep the original settings as they were?

You will also need to change the default = line to
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
