Remove other OS' from boot menu

[SavageCore]

Hey all,

I just got myself a nice new system.. now when booting I see 3 options, Windows 7, Windows 7 and Vista.

I am using my old 1tb hardrive with vista on it for storage so I want to remove vista but keep the data, that should be ok to do.
Now the other win 7 was on a 500gb drive that isn't even installed at the moment.

So can I remove all the options bar Win 7 RC from the boot menu? I know I could set the wait to 0secs in boot.ini but would rather do it 'properly' if you can.

Thanks!

Download a program called 'EasyBCD'

really simple to use, great program!

Wow, thanks for the rapid response. That looks perfect!

EasyBCD is what you need
It is really simple I do concede.
It'll sort you options to boot
To the developers I must salute.

No problem!

Just remember to click the save button when you make any changes!


edit: I approve of the above poem!

Anyone mention NeoSmart Technologies EasyBCD...


















Good idea to also use it to backup bootloader settings

I think that was what i was looking for aswell. I have to change my boot order in BIOS to get the OS for each HDD to show. This gives you the option to look at each drive connected for possible OSs to boot.

will see what happens at my next boot. *fingers crossed*

i had 2 operating systems on my machine and one of them i uninstalled a long time ago but it remained there in the boot options. will EasyBCD sort this out? i have just sort of ignored/put up with it until now, but would be nice to see it gone

Yeah, you can just delete the entry for the old OS from the boot menu
