Delete Broken Boot Option.

When I first boot into my PC I'm faced with 2 boot options:

Windows 7 and
Windows 7 Proffesional (Recovered)

The second was generated after using a recovery disk unnecasairly I think.

It will not boot and just goes to a blank black screen where as 'Windows 7' boots perfectly.

I would like to remove it from the boot list because it means I have to press the enter key half way through boot, which is more annoying than you may think.

All suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

To Remove the Partition: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/w...disk-partition

   Warning

Be sure to backup your hard drive before performing this task

To Remove the Option From Boot:
Start > msconfig > System Configuration > Boot Tab > Highlight the recovered option and delete

Try using msconfig,

Go to start, type msconfig then go to the boot tab and delete the Windows 7 Pro (recovery) from the boot list, it then should boot to Windows 7 automatically..

Hope this Helps..

Hi,


What do I do now?
Thanks.

Hello mate.

If you are able to boot to Windows, post a snip of Windows disk management.

   Note

Before we make any specific recommendations will you please post a snip/screen-shot of the entire Windows disk management drive map with a full description as to which drive/partition is which, so we can see what you have going on as there may be a fairly simple way to resolve the situation.

In the Windows start menu right click computer and click manage, in the left pane of the "Computer Management" window that opens click disk management and post a maximized snip of that.
