| | Multiple boot choices not needed! I have multiple boot choices when starting Vista Ultimate and don't need them. I have only one installation on this computer. I ran Vista from within the original Vista installation to install on a second hard drive to store as a backup. Now I have a window that comes up during each start up asking which version of Vista I want to use. How do I delete the extra? Only one hard drive is installed. Thanks! |

| | Re: Multiple boot choices not needed! Download and install either EasyBCD or VistaBootPro (Google for them) and you can use it to easily delete the item that you don't want. Just be careful to identify the items so you delete the right one.

| | Re: Multiple boot choices not needed! Right click "Computer" and select properties. Select "Advanced System Settings". On the Advanced tab click the button labeled "Settings..." in the "Startup and Recovery" section. You should be able to figure out what to do on the Startup and Recovery dialog.

| | Re: Multiple boot choices not needed! I downloaded VistaBootPro and it deleted the extra entries in a moment. The whole process to download, install and fix was 3 minutes. THANKS!
