Dual Boot - remove one option
I received a Dell laptop with a dual XP boot on it -
on startup, it displayed two options, both of them XP.
One worked, the other one didn't.
I did a fresh install (not an upgrade) of Windows 7, which apparently landed on top of the working XP boot.
So now when I boot up, I see two options - Windows 7 and "earlier operating system".
The Windows 7 boot works fine, but if I try the other, I get
"Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem."
I looked in the Disk Manager; all I could see was one disk (C),
with two partitions - one huge one, and one 9 MB one.
I'd really like to remove the XP ("earlier operating system") option,
so that it would boot directly to Windows 7.
How can I do this?
