Answer 1

Boot your PC from your Windows XP CD.

Then you need to enter repair mode. You might have to select your Windows installation (normally 1) and your admin password.

Then you need to type in fixmbr. Accept the warning, don't worry it'll be fine.

Once done, reboot. Your PC should boot into XP without asking you for a selection.

Answer 2

I can tell you a way to restore the old way of booting, namely only Windows.

- boot from the Windows CD

- choose "repair console" or so;  I think you do it by pressing "e"

- wait till the console loads, then type in "fixmbr" and press ENTER

- you will be seeing a warning but don't worry, it will affect only the boot region of the hard disk

- when it's done, take out the Windows CD and type in "exit" to reboot

- that's it
