I have a dual boot PC, Windows ME on one HDD and XP on another,but for some reason the windows XP setup is now one of the options, and I 'd like to get rid of it without messing up the bootlog. The following is my boot file, anyone know how to edit it to get rid of the "XP setup" option without messing up everything else?

[Boot Loader]
Timeout=5
Default=C:\
[Operating Systems]
C:\="Microsoft Windows"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows XP Setup"
