Boot manager lists "Windows 98" from boot.ini file

The boot manager menu lists Windows 98 from my XP boot.ini file.
Obviously I can't boot Win 98 from the Vista boot manager since Windows 98
needs its startup files to reside on a FAT32 boot partition drive.
If I try to make this entry invisible to Vista boot manager by commenting
out using a ";" in the boot.ini file then booting Win98 from the XP boot
manager fails, even though the entry is listed.
Removing the ";" makes the Win98 system bootable again.

If all you want to do is remove the boot options entry, try VistaBootPro
from

I'm afraid I wasn't clear.
"Windows 98" is not included in the BCD file as a system, it only appears in
boot.ini.
I can't remove it from boot.ini because I want the option to boot it from
the XP boot loader.
I want the Vista boot manager to ignore it as a potentially bootable system.
