A Solution to removing the OS boot menu after vista removal
Jun 30, 2006 Tech
So, you’ve installed vista, played around with it and its all great, new and good, but now your bored of it and want to reclaim your disk space back, so you boot into windows XP (by selecting it from the boot menu) and proceed to format the drive Vista is on. On rebooting you discover your boot menu still exists! what is one to do?! Well here for your please is a possible solution :p
- Turn on your PC
- Insert your XP CD, yes the one you install from
- Choose the option to go into the recovery console
- choose which installation you would like to “login” to, in most cases this will be “1″
- after typing that in, along with the administrator password, your at prompt similar to this:
C:\WINDOWS>
- your next step is to type either of the following commands: fixboot OR fixmbr
- once thats finished and you have a success message you can restart
Note: Choose to boot from CD if asked
The menu should now be gone and you should be booted into XP automatically
There may be other ways of fixing it, but this is the one ive, used.
