2 win xp show up at boot up after installing

[jwjhnsn]

I formatted and re-partitioned a drive for a fresh install of win xp. Now when I boot, it stops and asks which operating system to boot to. One is good but the other just stalls then reboots the system. I need to remove this fake one. Is there any way to get this off without reformatting again.

the second one seems to be just a ghost or something.
