Okay I currently had Windows 7 and Windows Vista on two separate partitions right. I decided to uninsyall windows vista which went fine, then I formatted the separate drive which was an extra slave drive. So as of now only windows 7 is installed right. I start the computer and the vista bootloader still loads as an existing dual boot menu asking which OS you want to choose. Vista obviously does not work but this bootloader still exists. I already changed boot.ini files and cannot change vista boot options because I formatted the drive. How do I edit or fix the MBR? or go to an origional boot?

Search and download EasyBCD, which is a simple and free tool to edit the MBR.

Just go into the settings and remove the Vistabootloader and repair it.
There should be a tut on their site.

Just delete the Vista entry.

(XP was the last OS to use boot.ini - so what exactly did you edit? :huh:)

In Win7 - type msconfig into the Start search box.

Click it when it pops up.

Under the Boot tab, highlight the Vista entry and Delete.

You wrote it faster than me lol. Had that written and then I see you already have posted this.

This to me is the best way to do it since you don't download anything.

Sorry typo there meant to say I edited BCDedit.exe referring to smart eye ball. Already tried msconfig and yes it let me delete the vista boot entry. But the boot loader still exists. Hopefully that program works lordbob thanks

What do you mean by the bootloader still exists?

Do you mean the Boot Menu?

It only has one entry now - Win 7 presumably.

In msconfig - you can set the Timeout to 0 for the Boot Menu.

You can also do that with EasyBCD , if you like - under "Change Settings".
