Multiple Os boot list?

dadio202 · 04-July-07, 12:27 PM

Okay I hope i can explain tis without confusing you guys.

My pc has two hardrives. 1. 80gig and 2. 250gig.

My 80gig had my xp operating system running and on my 250gig was a media drive which i then partitioned to run Vista. I had then decided get rid of vista and reinstall on my 80gig by formatting the drive completing resulting in no more xp.

Now when I boot up my computer. I have a list of three operating systems. Remember my 80gig was formated then installed with vista. the list is
1. Windows Xp Pro
2. Windows Vista(this is the current one that is working)
3. Windows Vista

How do I get rid of this so it boots automatically with the new vista? I tired msconfig but didn't really help

Did you try to edit boot.ini? Not sure if that works on vista, but here's a link that might help you..How to Use and Edit Boot.ini in Windows XP

Boot.ini is not avalible on Vista. I have to download a program and edit from there. I hope I can figured it out when I get home.
