Too many OS choices at boot

I just finished formatting my h/d (partitioned into C and D drives). Re-installed XP Professional. At mid BOOT, I'm taken to the choice of using either 'Microsoft Windows XP' or just plain 'Microsoft Windows'. When I chose the Win XP. everything works fine. When I chose the MSFT Windows choice, I get the C>: prompt and nothing else. I've re-installed this version of XP Pro a couple of times to get rid of some bugs, and have always gotten a smooth boot afterward - until now! How do I get rid of that second 'Microsoft Windows' choice of OS, so the machine will just smoothly boot through to Windows XP? I've reformatted the hard drives twice now to see if I missed something the first time... Any ideas? Thank you, John
