I'd normally just remove the line from boot.ini

Although sometimes you can get some hangover bits. I installed XPpro over win2kpro without deleting the filesystem and was left with the win2k bootloader as a hangover from the original install. Not too bothered tho. It'll be gone this time next weeks when I get a replacement HDD and it will be win2kpro and linux.
