Default [Resolved] Windows Multi-Boot Problem

I have a question about uninstalling Vista Beta 2 from my multi-boot system. Microsoft's instructions online said that I could do it by formatting the partition in which Vista was in. I decided to just format the partition because the partition itself was in a separate hard drive from of my Windows XP's. Well, I did that but when I boot my computer, I still get the "Select an OS" screen and when I select "Older version of Windows", instead of just loading my XP, it tries to check my "hard disks for consistency." Now, I know I am still able to run XP and all, but who like to turn on their computer and wait by it to be alert and press a key before you actually wait another set of time for Windows to start up. Any ideas? Thanks, Albert.

Hi Alber,

If you right click on My Computer -> Select Properties -> Advanced -> and select Settings under Startup and Recovery -> there should be an Edit button there (sorry i'm on Vista nd it's slightly different)

Once in there, remove the line that says Vista, and change the timeout time to 0 seconds.

Your on Vista gar, so your just quoting the exact procedure for win xp

It not exactly a new operating system

But yeah what gar says is the way or just set it from the options that appear before you press edit.

I know, but there's buttons missing that i was expecting
Like the edit button...that's not in vista well, not in this version at least

I've also found that the options don't always stick...which is why i just go straight for the boot.ini.

Well, thanks guys for the help so far, but I'm not sure on what line to delete. I took a screenshot of the window and dialoge to see if it would be easier to tell which line(s) to delete because this is really bugging me. - Albert
