Vista - Boot Manager asks what OS to use every time I start up

I've just had to replace my hard drive on my Dell Inspiron 1721 laptop and now every time I start my computer the Boot Manager asks what Operating System to use. Does anyone know how to remedy this?

If that doesn't work go back in msconfig and set the time out to 0 seconds.

Forgive me, if what doesn't work?

And the lowest you can go with the time out is 3 seconds.

Excuse me but did you do what Rick has posted for you

Did you do a fresh install on the new drive, or a factory install by mirroring the old drive or from a disk?

Ok, this is the results of the bcedit/enum:

I just hooked in the hard drive and it configured itself.
