I installed Vista several months ago on a separate partition on an XP Pro
machine. I decided I had done enough testing, so I uninstalled Vista. All
is well except the dual boot menu won't go away.
Decided to boot from my XP installation disk and run the Recovery Console to
rebuild my XP boot.ini (using bootcfg /rebuild).
Problem: When I get to the screen where I can choose R and do so, I get an
error message saying Windows could not find any hard drive!!?? The only
option is F3 (Quit).
So, I actually have two problems: (1) I can't get rid of the Vista dual boot
menu and (2) I can't load the Recovery Console in order to fix #1.
Any ideas how to fix either problem - preferably loading the Recovery
Console since this should allow me to get rid of the Vista boot menu?
Many thanks in advance,
