Right Click 'My Computer' > Properties > Advanced> Startup & Recovery - Settings

You can adjust the Startup Optins in this window.

Warning

Any changes you make could cause Windows to stop booting.

If you really only have one OS. You can remove the options to use the other invalid (2nd & 3rd) OSs by going here:

1. Click Start > Run
2. In the Open: line type msconfig and click OK to open System Configuration Utility
3. Select the tab labeled BOOT.INI
4. Click the button labeled Check All Boot Paths

A dialog box will open detailing the location of any invalid operating system locations.

5. Confirm you want to remove the entry and reboot the system.
