You can remove the one that is not there anymore in the boot.ini file or simply Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
2. On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
3. Under System Startup, click Edit. This opens the file in Notepad ready for editing.

From there remove only the line that is showing XP Home and save the file as it is, you won't see Home anymore.

And easier way to get there is right click on My Computer, go to Properties, click on Advanced and then Startup and Recovery.

Hope this help
