    Dual boot problem


    Hey everybody,

    well im no genius whenit comes to computers but i know the basics...anyway,

    my dell laptop came with vista and i decided to install windows seven recently and i did...however whenever i turn on the computer, i get the option of going on vista or windows 7.... which sucks not only is it a waste of time but my D drive is seriously full and i want to clean it out asap. So what can i do to remove windows vista completely off my system? Just to let you know, after some research i saw how you write some prompts in command prompts e.g it /export C:\boot\bcd However they do not work because it says : The store export has failed. Access is denied

    Thanks in advance :)

    C:\boot folder has to physically exist before you run bcdedit /export C:\boot\bcd command.

    Copy the folder from other partition/drive root to C: root first, along with bootmgr file too.

    You can use msconfig to get rid of Vista at boot. Use the boot tab.
