XP Setup/Startup Problems...

Question

OK, here's the situation. I've got a Dell Inspiron 1150, and my hard drive got replaced recently, so I've had to reinstall XP and everything else. Now right after I installed XP, I was having problems with the system (which turned out to be due to the lack of drivers), but at the time I thought it was a problem with the XP install. So I started fiddling around with the XP disc and the setup options. Now that I've installed the drivers and such, everything on the OS is working fine; the problem is at startup. When I turn the computer on, I get the OS selectin menu and I have to choose between Windows XP and Windows XP Setup, which I suppose I is something I put on the hard drive while trying to reinstall XP. It's quite annoying to do this every startup as they give you all of 2 seconds to make the choice, and it's defaulted to the Setup option. Does anyone know how I can get rid of the Setup option?
