How to correct this starting problem

Long ago, I have both windows XP (disk C) and windows 2000 (disk D) on
my computer. Later, I decide to use one windows only. I have format
disk D:, and keep it as data disk. On the C:, I install Windows XP Pro.
But now everytime I start the computer, the first boot screen always
ask me what windows I would like to use: XP or 2000? Even there is no
windows 2000 on the computer now.

How can I remove this, and fix the problem?

Thanks.

The operating system choices on the boot screen come from the
[Operating Systems] section in file C:\Boot.ini. Edit that file and
remove the line that lists Windows 2000.
