Yes you can but you have to be in XP. And alos from the
bootloader you have to remove the line which you see when
you turn on pc for the dual boot.

Boot to XP and enter %windir% in the address bar. If C:\Windows shows
up, you can delete C:\WINNT, which contains win2K. Then do that
msconfig.exe check boot paths thing to remove the 2K entry from
boot.ini. That should do it.

But how does one "boot to XP" and what address bar are
you referring to?
