Too many operating systems!

[emilywright]

Hi everyone, I need some help clearing up some space on my computer. This computer was given to us with windows NT installed on it and i later installed windows XP home edition. After that i installed XP Pro... Now when i reboot my computer it asks me which one i would like to start up in.. I have 3 working operating systems on this computer. All I want is XP Pro, how can i delete these others?? Thank you all very much for your time! Em

Look at your boot.ini file it should look like this to not prompt

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

The only way to safely remove any left over traces would be to rebuild.
