| Win 7 64 bit 4 posts | remove unwanted boot-up OS choice Hi (My first post, so be gentle, please!  )A few months ago I installed Jolicloud OS as an experiment (stupid me). I installed it onto a flash drive just so as not to mess up anything on my hdd. Anyway, when I tried to uninstall it the process failed (I later just reformatted the flash drive), but I am left with having to choose between Windows 7 & Jolicloud during boot up. I have been into the Windows boot manager and JC isn't even listed, but at least I was able to set Windows 7 to the default so that it auto-choose that instead of JC. (I followed basically this procedure). Can anyone tell me how to remove this boot-up menu? thanks! Toby. |

Also, I had originally followed those same instructions that you linked to uninstall JoliCloud OS. But it failed, and left me with an inoperative JC OS. thanks, Toby. |
