I have two hard drives on my computer and I installed Vista onto one of them. I formatted that hard drive as I wanted to uninstall Vista but when starting up my computer it still shows the 'choose OS' screen.
How can I get rid of this screen?

p.s. I have already gone to the msconfig screen and checked all the boot paths, it says everything's correct. I think this might be because I installed Vista on a seperate H drive ??

You do not say what OS you are running. There is a free to download program on the web - VistaBootPro. It will install on XP. Get it and install it and delete the bootmng, the cause of your problem, from your root.

Well, I'm at a loss. When I do that on my dual-boot system, it stops asking me which system to boot.

I don't think that will work John. He is looking at the Vista boot manager, you are referring to the boot.ini, which is second in the boot sequence. He has to get rid of that.

Have you tried my suggestion, Sisalto? I don't see why it would have failed!
