so i recently installed vista on my storage partition by mistake, now i have two installations of vista when i boot my comp; and i would really like to find away to remove this

but the problem is, when i try to delete the windows folder vista resides in; it won't let me! and other than that i can't find the boot.ini folder to change how the system starts up and gives me that annoying selection.

I really REALLY need help here, as this 2nd install is driving me nuts Nana-o

edit: OK i got it to work after 2 hours of vigourous read ups on how to delete the sucker

just for your information; i had to use vistabootpro and change various security privileges on the windows folder to remove it.
EasyBCD is epic in situations like this.

Your method is different, obviously...

well all it consisted of using vistabootpro to delete the BCD entry and then changing the security permissions on the windows folder to full access to delete it

but yeah, im happy i was able to solve the problem
