Or from a command prompt you'll need to remove the system and/or hidden and/or read-only ATTRIBs on boot.ini. Edit the file to remove the lines you don't want, and re-ATTRIB the file.

I'd format all drives with the XP disc, but if ya just want the operating system selection to go away when you turn your computer on, simply go to Start and then Run. Type in msconfig in the Run box, and hit enter. The System Configuration Utility should come up. Click on the BOOT.INI tab at the top, and then click on "Check All Boot Paths." If you've deleted the other Windows, that's not the best option, but clicking this box WILL remove the operating system selection that you have to do with you turn the computer on.
