Since you are using Win XP you can follow the below steps to remove the Red Hat from dual boot system.

1. Right click on My Computer.

2. Click on Properties.

3. Go to Advanced tab.

4. Now under ”Startup and Recovery” click “Settings”

Solution 1:

You can change the value for “Time to display list of operating systems” to 0s

Solution 2:

1. Click on Edit.

2. It will open boot.ini in notepad mode.

3. You will see something like,

"[boot loader]

timeout=5

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS="Microsoft

Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptOut

C:CMDCONSBOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons"

4. Here I have two selections XP and windows Recovery, you may be having Red Hat too, delete that line.
