Removing Dual Boot

CHiLL · 21-02-2009, 11:05

I had 2x bootable drive, Vista (main), XP (secondary).

I have taken out the XP drive, as I no longer need it in this computer, but I am still getting the dual boot menu of Vista and XP when I boot up my computer.

I have tried fixing the startup using the Windows Vista disc, but that didn't work.

Any ideas?

Not sure if it's still current but you could use BCEDIT.EXE (via the command prompt) that would show you the boot hierachy and allow you to edit it

It cannot be found according to Vista.

You'll need to run command prompt as an admin first I believe

Sorry, I typed it wrong. I have it open now, but I don't know what to do.

Look for the XP entry and delete it... or post the whole thing on here and someone will be able to tell you exactly which bit to remove..

I can see the Windows XP entry, I just don't know how to remove it.

According to msconfig, Vista is the only bootable thing, but the boot menu still shows on startup.
