Vista boot up nagging problem

Question

I have upgraded to Vista and all is working.  There is a nagging problem however.  When it boots up it wants to go to Windows XP Professional setup(which I never had but must have been somewhere on the computer).  There are 3 options:  1) earlier versions of windows, 2) Windows Vista, 3) XP Professional setup.  It defaults to XP Professional setup.  I went to the advanced setup/startup and it shows only 2 options, earlier versions and Windows Vista, with Windows vista being the default.  Any suggestions how to get rid of the XP Professional setup?

If you never had XP, how did you upgrade?

I did not have XP Professional.  I had XP Media Center Edition.  It appears that at the very end of the Vista Upgrade somehow when it rebooted it went to XP Professional setup.  I assume it is somehow from the old XP install.
