How to edit Dual Boot options to delete bad Vista option
You'll need to run "bcdedit" from an adminitrator-level command line.
You can run "bcdedit /?" to see all the commands. "HPM" wrote in message ... I can dual boot between XP and Vista but have a 3rd boot option that does not work from a previous, now deleted Vista install that - I would like to delete this 3rd option but do not know how. TIA

VistaBootPro has a nice graphical interface for those, such as myself, not
comfortable with command line usage. "CM" wrote in message ... You'll need to run "bcdedit" from an adminitrator-level command line. You can run "bcdedit /?" to see all the commands.

I would download VistaBootPro or EasyBCD and use that to edit your file.
Much easier. Google Search either to find the download. "HPM" wrote in message ... I can dual boot between XP and Vista but have a 3rd boot option that does not work from a previous, now deleted Vista install that - I would like to delete this 3rd option but do not know how. TIA

How to edit Dual Boot options to delete bad Vista option
You will need to edit the bcedit file (you will need administartive
priveldges to do this). Alternatively, and by far the best way would be to download the third party software VistaBootPro (www.vistabootpro.org), install it and then use this to edit the bcedit file. Vistabootpro is far more user friendly than the command line bcedit. -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org The information in this mail is supplied "as is".

I could not get VistaBootPro to work, even after reinstalling twice -
EasyBCD however worked like a charm. Problem solved. Many thanks. "John Barnett MVP" wrote in message ... You will need to edit the bcedit file (you will need administartive priveldges to do this).
