Hello Board!

I am running Vista now but I attempted to install XP Pro for dual
booting. However, when I decided to eliminate the XP Pro, for I found
Vista is more suitable for me. Unfortunately, I now got stuck with the
XP Setup option still lingering as the default option when the computer
turns on. I thought I had completely removed the XP OS from my D:\ drive
which was the drive for XP. Appearantly, somehow I did not completely
remove all the XP files because obviously there is still a trace of it
hidden somewhere in the system. I have looked into the msconfigBOOT and
there is only one default OS which is the Vista.
Is there any way I can get rid of the XP Setup option?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

Many feel more comfortable using the free tool VistaBootPro from the .org of
the same name rather than using bcdedit, the included boot manager editor.

This article tells how to install XP as a dual boot with Windows Vista
installed first. The link I give to page 5 of the article tells how to
remove XP if you decide you want to go back just to Vista:

'How to dual boot Vista and XP (with Vista installed first) -- the
step-by-step guide with screenshots'
