Windows trys to boot from old install that's not there

[ProdigyMS]

Hey,

My aunt wanted me to format her Dell, but she lost her original Dell discs. So she went out and bought XP Pro during a christmas sale somewheres. I formatted using the Windows XP Pro CD, it installed fine and all. But every time I reboot it asks me if I want to boot with Windows XP Pro, or Windows XP Home (Her old installation). I tried using a Windows 98 SE boot disk, and booted to command prompt and used fdisk /mbr, it seemed to work but it stills asks me which one I want to boot. Also if I try to boot to Windows XP Home it says the files aren't there. Any ideas?

Start - Control Panel - System - Advanced - (Startup and Recovery) Settings - Edit

Remove the line that asks for the Home version.. Hit ok, should be fixed up for ya.

Just deleted it again and rebooted, worked like a charm. Thanks a lot riser!
