Bootmenu options

[ritish]

Dear friends,
i installed a new copy of windows from an already installed windows.
It installed the initial setup files and now it shows in the boot menu "Windows Xp Professional setup".
Now I want to flush/ delete the boot menu as well as the already installed setup files.
