You should compare the two to see if they are identical. The 'md5' 
command calculates a checksum of the specified file. If both files have 
the same checksum, they are identical. If they have different checksums, 
they are not identical.  Enter these command in a terminal window:

     md5 ~/Desktop/BootX

     md5 /System/Library/CoreServices/BootX

Examine the checksum number re****ted for each one. 

If the numbers are the same, these files are identical and you can 
safely delete the one on your desktop. 

If the numbers are different, that means one of the files has been 
modified. So you'll probably want to hang onto both of them in case one 
of them causes problems during boot.
