Every time I boot my machine (dual boot - 2 x vista 32 home Premium), the boot manager tries to take me into an incomplete, and unwanted, vista setup option which then hangs the machine. I want to delete that option from the boot manager but it doesn't appear in bcdedit, and that is about as far as my technical knowledge goes.

Using a program on the Mac called Bootcamp, I set up the...

Concerns windows vista home premium sp1 installed on a Toshiba Satellite A100-819. The operating system is working normally, and also all installed software works fine.
