A quickie (I hope)

Recently reinstalled Windows XP on B2's lappy. Everything is OK except that in the boot process a screen asks me which O/S I want to use, XP or XP, waits 30 seconds if you don't do anything then goes ahead with a normal boot up. I can only assume this has something to do with not formatting the hard drive and removing the previous XP installation but I basicaly just did what I was told. (This was prior to my thread on formatting a HDD with XP on it).

This is a minor annoyance only, but does anybody have any ideas about how to remove this step? I have about six hours from time of posting to do something about it before B2 goes to Sydney, then I'll have to rely on doing it long distance. I'm aware it is the wee small hours of the morning in the upside down Antipodes, but any thoughts would be appreciated.
