"Previous Version" at Vista bootup

I upgraded from XP home to Vista HP, and now I get a strange menu before
Vista loads. After the BIOS loads, but before Vista, I get a strange menu. It
asks if I want to load a previous version of Windows, or load Vista. It's not
a critical error, just annoying. Anyway to get rid of it and just
automatically load Vista? The whole reason I upgraded was so I don't have to
use a previous version of Windows.

Hello BigJim,

See if you have XP still listed as a default OS boot option using Method Two in this tutorial below. If you do use step 7 to delete it.

Boot Partition - Default

Hope this helps,
Shawn
