I use Vista Boot Pro. It real easy to work with.
Hi Guys. I had a similar problem, except i wasn't able to use my arrow keys to select my OS. The boot manager clearly shows my two OS (XP and 7), but my keyboard was not responding at all. I know it works because I'm able to enter and edit my BIOS settings using it. I'm just wondering if anyone has come across this before and if they know how to fix it. EasyBCD worked like a charm and i was able to set the default to XP, I just don't want to have to keep changing these settings just to get into the other OS.
thanks!

Is there a setting for USB keyboard in your Bios, if so make sure it's enabled and see if that works.
Yes, that's the solution. If it's not called USB keyboard in your BIOS, look for USB Legacy support
well bcdedit isn't that hard,
bcdedit (enter) will list all the entries in the store, note the identifier and write it down
then all you need to do is:
bcdedit /delete {cbd971bf-b7b8-4885-951a-fa03044f5d71} /cleanup
where the value {xxx} is the identifier of the entry you want to remove.
Just run the cmd prompt as administrator ie. elevated.
Thank you very much for your help, but on this site I found a link to Easy BCD 1.7.2 exe, this was very easy, I just clicked on the entry I wanted to remove clicked delete and save in this utility and it was done, It has other useful gadgets also. I like it really simple didn't have to type a thing. I have limited vision so I would have most probably got something wrong.
Thank you.

Right click on the desktop select "new" select "shortcut" in the box type "CMD" and close. Then select the new shortcut, right click and select "run as administrator" the commands will now be accepted
