2 operating systems (but not really)?

I have 2 hard drives one crashed and so I put in the 2nd HD
I fdisked it and reformated fat32 installed Windows XP

Upon boot it asks if I want to run windows Xp or
Previous operating system

How do I get rid of the second operating system
or at least this option (slows down boot)
and there is not a operating system there
if clicked on it just reboots

you can modify the "boot.ini" file...its a hidden file on the C: drive.....hafta go to folder options "view" and set it to show all files and to NOT hide protected operating systems files.
