xp boot problem

I just formatted my hard drive and installed XP pro. However, when I boot up, I'm asked to choose between XP home and pro. Home was previously installed but I don't know why I'm still asked to choose. It's not a big deal but kind of a pain. Any help would be awesome.

Sounds like you reformatted and installed XP Pro on a separate partition.

Click Start > Run, then type diskmgmt.msc and click OK. The Disk Management window will open. Look to see if your hard drive has multiple partitions.
