The install went fine, and it showed that the drive had been formatted into 4 seperate partitions, C:, D:, E:, and F:, with the boot partition on the C: partition.
Now it just has two partitions, C: and D:. Is there any way to remove the Linux files from my C: partition, or at least disable the choice menu on startup?
I just hate to have to reformat and do a clean install all over again. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Can it be named something else in windows 2k. I have a similar problem to the one described above, except that I am using a pc with Windows ME installed. I recently tried an upgrade to XP on a seperate partition, but after removing XP, I still get the choice of which operating system at boot.
There is no boot. Is there another way to edit the choices and remove XP so that it automatically starts in ME? It worked partially. I had two entries on the original. It continues to do the same thing before, i. Any further suggestions?
I know I can get rid of this problem with a clean re-install of my XP, with reforming the selected hard drive. It just does not appeal to me.

I installed Vista on a computer that had win XP. I thought that instaling Vista will give give the choice to format the disk, but no.
The old windows was moved to a windows. I premeturly deleted the windows. Using a boot manager i can only see the vista entry and the XP entry, but not the XP-setup entry. I removed the XP entry. Vista and 2. I installed Vista Pro and subsequently erased it. However, the boot entry remains.
BCEdit is needed, apparently, to manage the boot entry for Vista. Is there a way to remove this through XP?
I just want my old auto boot to XP back and no fault windows 7 beta option. INI basically looks like the example above. I am sorry this article is not useful for me. Because I have different problem. Bur t westing time and loking bad. You should be able to fix all this. Then boot.

I am using XP Professional and the first hard Disk which contains the primary partition broke now but I was already using the first one before that which already contains a partition now when I removed the Broken one I am still getting those two options.

Voila, startup problem solved. Same goes for System 7! S choices. This worked — for ending the boot selection for me… though one has to manually enter the boot id for the delete operation in CMD panel. My situation is Vista on Drive 0 c: , Windows 7 on Drive 1 d:. Thanks to this article, I no longer get the option, but rather boot directly to W7.
Fyi I purposely installed W7 as a dual-boot, just in case. How do I recover the c: partition? Thank you very much…. I tried it out and works perfectly…… i checked it by rebooting…… nothing went wrong……. Hello, Very interresting info BUT my case seams a bit different. The Vista hdd did crash totally.
