Get rid of dual boot
I found a link to download the pre-rc1 vista from MS site but after
downloading and installing, vista reports that it is beta 2 build 5384. Been there, done that. How do I get rid of the dual boot? Just delete win vista from the drive? Or do I need to change a config file in addition to deleting vista? Thanks. Oh, I'm using Win Xp-SP2.

Get rid of dual boot
Rob, thanks for the info. I put this in the boot.ini file (see below) and I
still get the dual boot option when restarting. Anyone know exactly where the file is for a dual boot for Vista? Plus I can't delete the Vista files from my computer. There has to be a way to get rid of Vista. Thanks. ; ;Warning: Boot.ini is used on Windows XP and earlier operating systems.

Get rid of dual boot
I was able to delete Vista by formatting the partition that it was on but I
still get the dual boot option when restarting. Still looking for a *.ini file or something that controls that. Thanks for any help. "Buddha Pest" wrote in message ... Rob, thanks for the info.

Get rid of dual boot
Will, that doesn't contain any info about the dual boot. Thanks for the
reply. Anyone else have any information about getting rid of the dual boot screen upon start-up? I've completely deleted the Vista files and reformatted the partition so this information has to be on the Win XP Partition. "Will" wrote in message ... Run msconfig and boot tab.
