Removing a Dual-Boot OS

[Lee Jefferies]

Can anyone tell me the command to remove an entry in the dual boot
file. I think it use BCDedit /remove someway but I'm not sure?

bootrec.exe /fixboot
*this will check that XP is no longer present in Vista's boot.ini

Vista does not have a boot.ini file. Instead, Vista has a BCD
store. (It doesn't take credit cards.)

Installing and using either EasyBCD or VistaBootPro is probably
the easiest way. Both are free for download, and they translate the
difficult BCDedit syntax to point-n-click simplicity. Another way
might be to run "bootrec /rebuildbcd" after you remove the unwanted
OS from the system. Also, try running "msconfig" from the Vista
command prompt and clicking the "BOOT" tab, then delete the OS
from the boot menu.
