I just upgraded my Toshiba A45's (laptop) hard drive from a 40 gig to an 80 gig. I had to use an external drive box to hook up the new 80 to copy files over. I used Max Blast to copy the files over after I had the drive initialized. I then put the new drive in the laptop. But now when Windows boots it waits and gives me a two choices to either boot "windows" or "windows". Is there some utility out there that would fix this real easy? Or am doomed to either live with the problem or to reformat and try again?

Right click my computer select propities then click Advance tab in advance tab click settings from the Startup and recovery once done that click the edit button. you will see something like This:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

Below the [operating systems]erase one of them like this one and just leave one. that shoud take care of the problem.
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
