| | Dual-boot menu - extra entry for Vista I just installed Vista Business (retail purchased copy) on a computer that already had XP on it. I installed Vista to drive D (a separate physical drive). The installation went smoothly - everything works as expected. Except for the extra "Vista" entry in the dual-boot menu. The menu shows the "previous version of Windows" entry and then TWO Vista entries. Selecting the first Vista results in the computer booting to Vista as it should. Selecting the second one results in an error message screen. How do I get rid of this second entry? And, what did I do to cause it to be created? |
