I accidentally installed xp-home edition as a dual boot in a computer
using xp-home edition. And i just learned that my little brother has
deleted the partition with the second x p-home OS. When ever i boot
the option to choose the OS i want to use is still there. How can i
make it not give me that option (to choose which OS to load).

you can manually edit the boot.ini file, you'll find it hidden in the c:/ , you'll find a line with the default chosen option, and then you'll find a list with the available operating systems, just delete the line that has the windows that you want to remove and save it, but i got to advice you, if you delete the wrong line your computer might not start at all, so be careful
