windows boot up screen

[adbp1]

hi, ive got dual boot up screen on my netbook which i dont want, i intially installed vista onto seperate partition to see how it would run but now ive decided i wanna keep xp, so i deleted the partition with vista.
but now each time i boot it gives me choice of vista or earleir version of windows.. if i dont keep an eye on it it boots to vista which isnt there so then gives me another screen.

how can i get rid of the boot screen so it jsut boots back to xp without thinking of *** to do?

thanks ali

ok forgive me!!

which or what do i change?
this is what it says in edit start up:


;Warning: Boot.ini is used on Windows XP and earlier operating systems.
;Warning: Use BCDEDIT.exe to modify Windows Vista boot options.
;
[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT

its still doing it
default is "xp home"
time to display i set to 0 seconds
time to display recovery i set to 0 seconds

but yet when i restart it still shows vista or xp and counts down from 30 seconds

You have completely formatted the Vista partition? Shouldn't be recognising there is another OS there if the files aren't there?Plus it still shouldn't be doing

have you used the run command to open up that BCDEDIT.exe file?

tried BCDEDIT.exe and it comes up with "windows cant find"

the partiton is now fully formated and joined back with the rest of the hdd
but yet i restart and still the menu there
why is life never simple !!!!

ok got a little problem now
cant actually boot into anything now, played with boot ini (saved first) then copied ini from another pc running windows home but now neither vista boots of course cos its not there and now neither does xp, just tells me some stuff about check hard disk setup
