2 hard drives

I was trying to install windows on an internal hard drive for my laptop. I
gave up on it because I keep getting an error message, so I took off the hard
drive. Now when it trying to boot up it gives me the option of booting up
from two windows how do I take that off?

Not sure what you mean by "so I took off the hard drive". For those two
options does one work and the other not? If that's the case boot into the
one that works, login to an account with admin privileges, then from Start |
Run type in msconfig, click ok. On the boot tab select Check all boot
paths. It should find one that is invalid and offer to remove it. Give it
permission to do so. Ok out and reboot.
