I used Partition Magic so I could dual-boot XP and Vista. Once my trial ran out, I went to the XP side and formatted the Vista half then combined the partitions back together. Now when I start my computer, I still have the:
"Older Version of Windows"
"Microsoft Windows Vista"
I googled on how to remove it and it all seemed to lead up to: "Do blah blah blah in the Vista side" even though I no longer have it. I looked into the boot.ini (or whatever) but didn't see any "Vista" options to delete. So I re-installed the Beta for another 30 day trial, thinking it might fix it, but it just added another option.
"Older Version of Windows"
"Microsoft Windows Vista" <--- default 30 second OS
"Microsoft Windows Vista" <--- old one doesn't work
How could I remove that bottom option?
Here is my boot.ini:
;

;
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT
"Older Version of Windows"
