Eliminate dual-boot screen? Richard in SC 7/3/2007 4:12:03 PM XP-64 was installed and deleted, but the dual-boot screen still comes up with the now-deleted XP-64 as the default choice of Operating System. How can I get rid of the screen with the now-invalid OS choice?

Re: Eliminate dual-boot screen? Carlos 7/4/2007 3:00:00 AM I have to admit that you were right from the very beginning. EasyBCD is in, VistaBootPro is out!

Re: Eliminate dual-boot screen? "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie[ at ]mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> 7/4/2007 5:58:28 PM Oh, my. If Carlos has abandoned VBP, it must be dead. :) I honestly just didn't like the whole way that came down at the beginning, and decided to stick with the guy who did the original work. And he seemed to be doing a better job during the beta with staying up with changes MS made to the database. Of course, since then, he's had a much more stable product, and it does all I need it to do. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Carlos" <Carlos[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:AB3E6E48-753D-4B82-A1D1-5DC85FADF2AF[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Eliminate dual-boot screen? Richard in SC 7/4/2007 7:28:03 PM Thanks, Guys, all of you. Your quick and on-point response, John Barnes, almost makes up for the lack of free Customer Suport by MicroSoft. Almost. (M-S was quick to give me the 6 month evaluation copy of XP-64, but no way to follow up with them without $$) "Charlie Russel - MVP" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Oh, my.

Re: Eliminate dual-boot screen? "John Barnes" <jbarnes[ at ]email.net> 7/5/2007 12:59:21 PM For eliminating an unneeded entry in the Vista Boot File, the new Boot tab in System Configuration works well also.

Re: Eliminate dual-boot screen? "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie[ at ]mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> 7/5/2007 4:28:54 PM Good to know, though I'd probably still use EasyBCD regardless.
