How to Remove a second copy of XP installed by error & how to Edit the Boot.ini File in Windows.
Click Start > Run > type, msconfig > Click, boot .ini tab > Then check all boot paths tab > Click on that and this should delete the choice that is not required > Click apply and reboot system. Check the box, telling Windows not to display that message again, so it will not be displayed in the future.

I am unable to follow the path of instruction, as it doesnt recognize the bootcfg.. in further text it states that these directions only apply to Windows XP Professional, I am running XP Home Edition

thank you for your response...
I did this and when I clicked check all boot paths it tells me
"It appears that all BOOT.INI lines for Microsoft operating systems are OK"
and under [operating systems] there are the following 2 lines and there is no option to delete anything, I can just click OK or Cancel
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
and
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
