getting rid of faulty OS choices at startup

I have a question about What 
do I do if my BIOS is causing a problem with Windows?:

I have 2 intallations of XP on my computer with a 160GB HD, partitioned into 100GB, 40GB, and 20GB(roughly). I have XP on the 100GB and 40GB partitions. I tried to install 2000 pro onto the 20GB partition, but it didn't install. I also have a 60GB HD, not partitioned, that I sucessfully installed it on, but then neither of the 2 XP choices worked in the menu at startup. I formatted the 20GB partition, but the faulty 2000 choice was still in the menu, though it can't be fixed and was formatted. I reformatted the 60GB HD, and reinstalled 2000, and now there are 2 faulty 2000 choices. How do I get rid of them and fix the XP choices? Specs: intel celeron 1200 MHz, WD 160GB HD, Seagate 60GB HD, 4xDVD+-R(W), 512 MB PC133 RAM
