Windows 7: remove xp dual boot from win7 original installation

hello,

original install Windows 7 on msata SSD
second install xp on XP partition that is on secondary HDD (that never installed properly)



deleted the xp partion, installed XP with vmware and it works fine (the one you see on the screen captures attached

unfortunatly, i still have the dual boot option that shows up and i cand get it to go away, any idea?

thanks

Have you tried removing it using msconfig.exe?

But would you like to talk about your SSD install. I assume you imaged, or used some other method to move your old install?

noything shows up in msconfig

the first os isntall is Windows 7 on the ssd.

the xp install went on a secondary hdd where i made a partition ton try to have dual boot. i was never able have win xp x64 work so i deleted the that xp partition and installed xp x64 thru vmware on that partition.

problem is, the dual boot is still there! and i cant get rid of it!

Use EasyBCD to edit your boot options.

EasyBCD - CNET Download.com

i dont see where to delete the xp of the dual boot or remove the dual boot!

Tic Skip the boot menu. Save settings and reboot.

As the ghost listing doesn't appear in either msconfig>boot or EasyBCD, I would run Startup Repair to let it sort the BCD.

If the other HD is still attached, you should also move any data off and wipe it of all boot code using Diskpart Clean Command

Skip boot menu doesn't work

Tried startup repair 3 times doeant work... I can't wipe it theres 400 gig I need isn't there another way?!
