How to get rid of boot option

HI all

Put another copy of xp on a new partition ages ago but it has been removed now....but now instead of the 2 boot options its given me this

Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Windows(default)

Here is a copy of my boot ini

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT

I tried to delete the "default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS" but that dosn't get rid of the Windows(default).....When I click on the Default option it comes up with NTLR error or something along them lines.

Any idea how to get rid of it and to just boot straight into windows?

cheers

boot of the windows cd and in to the recovery console and type in "fixboot" or "fixmbr" one of the will do it

when you're in windows

go to start, run, msconfig

click boot.ini, then click "check all boot paths"

thanks...I clicked the "make defaukt" tab instead and it changed the "default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOW S" to "default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S" and it boots perfect now

I love it when its something simple
