I got a system with Vista and XP. Now I erased XP. But how can I get rid of
dualboot at the start of the system?

Download and install VistaBootPro. You can then edit the operating system
entries to remove the Windows XP entry. To remove the XP entry, Run
VistaBootPro and then click on the Manage OS Entries tab. Select the Windows
XP operating system and the press the 'X' button to remove the entry, then
lick the Apply button.

The next time you boot you should boot directly to the Vista desktop

system Configuration will start up.
On the Boot tab
Make sure Vista is set for default
then select the XP startup line
and click Delete.
Then Click OK to close.
It will then be gone!

You are unreadable. So I think I'll stop trying.

I can read it fine, but answer this. When I do the above I don't see XP
listed, but it is in Control Panel, System, Advanced System Settings,
Startup and Recovery, Settings. It is also there at boot time. btw, I
created the XP entry using bcdedit.

Well,
Iam not sure how bcdedit works completely
but..
I would try this.
If you have no more WinXP to run and
you only have Vista running now..
If you can see such.
Look for Boot.ini
and delete it.
If you only have Vista running now the file is not needed.
Hope that helps ya.

Thanks for your answer, but in Vista there is no boot.ini.
