Uninstalling Vista RC1 from seperate Hard Drive ???

1281 Views 13 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  sisalto
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 ??

Right click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced, and click the Startup and Recovery button. You can pick the default O/S there and then uncheck the "Time to display list of operating systems" box, the prompt will be gone. You can also click the Edit button and remove the line that references the Vista copy from the BOOT.INI file.
Well, I'm at a loss. When I do that on my dual-boot system, it stops asking me which system to boot. :)

How about poking the Edit button on that screen, then copying and pasting the entire contents of the BOOT.INI file here for us to see. We can show you what you need to remove to prevent it from asking about the second O/S.
You're right, I haven't looked to closely at the Vista dual-boot, time for some re-education. ;)
