Boot up problem

I have an old Packard Bell computer and had to format the HD and re-install
XP.
I did not create any partitions on the 20Gb drive.
When it boots up I get a screen with:
Please select the operating system to start:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Microsoft Windows XP Professional

I have to selct the first one. Then it boots up ok.
I do not know how to get into the CMOS screens to check the settings.
Can someone please help.
Thanks

Answered in another newsgroup. Please do not send the same message
separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so just
fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't get to
see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all the
newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message multiple
times instead of once (they would see it only once if you correctly
crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's time, and gets you poorer help
than you should get.

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please do so
by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

Please see "What is the accepted way to share a message across multiple
newsgroups?" at http://smjg.port5.com/faqs/usenet/xpost.html
