There is no SQL Server equivalent to rowid. Your best bet might to

SELECT DISTINCT *
INTO temptable
FROM sourcetable
WHERE whatever filters down to just the 2 rows in question

DELETE FROM sourcetable
WHERE whatever filters down to just the 2 rows in question

INSERT INTO sourcetable
SELECT * FROM temptabe
