Windows Boot Manager - Delete a Listed Operating System

I'm really confused. I dual boot XP and 7 (installed 7 first, using your guide) and was following your directions on deleting it. Unfortunately, for some reason, only Windows 7 is listed where there should be two OSs. Any ideas?

EDIT: lol, i just realized 2 people above just had the same issue. Never mind. XD But I still have one question: Afterwards, how do I delete everything on the hard drive? Do I just click "Format..." I just want to clear it off now.

EDIT 2: Never mind, lol, I got it all down, just disregard this post. Thanks for your help. XD

Hello Rct2guy,

I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted. :)

Hello Borgen, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You might need to check while started in both Windows 7 and XP to see which one these are listed in, then delete them.

Just realised something. When im in Windows XP i can see them in MSCONFIG. But i dont know how to delete them, can't seem to find the delete button. And they're not showing in EasyBCD. Anyways thanks alot for helping out mate.

Yes, either one should be able to allow you to view and remove them. I would try msconfig first though.

Hello Gregglee,

You could use the BCDEDIT command to delete the XP entry.

Hope this helps,

Hello Nate,

Yes, as long as the default is to the left in Disk Management (first OS installed), then you can delete and extend into the second OS partition.

Hope this helps,
