Hey you don't need to do what that other guy said.. go to start > run then type into the edit box: msconfig then go to the boot.ini file, then go to the [operating systems] section and click each topic inside there and then pick 'check path' and it will promt you for each operating system which isn't found to have a valid path to remove it from the ini file. problem solved.
