Looks like another profile was somehow made... dunno how to really explain it. Both of them will do the same thing. As long as you lost no data or anything, you should be good to go.

Just edit the boot.ini file

just delete the 2nd entry in there pertaining to windows-that will stop windows asking you

print out the boot.ini file first-or write down what it looks like just incase


you right click my computer/properties/advanced/then it's around there somewhere

sorry at work computer can't check

Another way to get rid of having to select this each time is to right click on my computer and go to properties. In there click on the advanced tab and click on the settings button for the startup and recovery section. In here uncheck the box that says "time to display list of operating systems". I believe this will bypass this on bootup as I had this problem before and as I recall this was the solution to get past it without having to choose. Hope this helps.

It may be best to format the harddrive and reinstall...
