Re: Remove Startup Menu !!!!

you can remove the reference to it from MsConfig or in Notepad. Make sure you delete only the line that refers to your Vista install

Use VistaBoot Pro on XP to remove the entry.

Hi,

You need to rewrite the mbr to point to a different bootloader. Right now,
it is still pointing to and loading Vista's. You need to overwrite it with
something like XP's fixmbr to point to another bootloader.
