How do I get rid of the dual boot menu?

This is a discussion about How do I get rid of the dual boot menu? in the Everything New Technology category; I just re-installed Win2K on my laptop after formating the HD and now it thinks I have two operating systems on the machine even though there is only one. Is there a way to get rid of this menu so I it will boot faster? Thanks, Chris.
