Multiple boot choices not needed!

I have multiple boot choices when starting Vista Ultimate and don't need
them. I have only one installation on this computer. I ran Vista from within
the original Vista installation to install on a second hard drive to store as
a backup. Now I have a window that comes up during each start up asking
which version of Vista I want to use. How do I delete the extra? Only one
hard drive is installed.

Thanks!

Download and install either EasyBCD or VistaBootPro (Google for them) and
you can use it to easily delete the item that you don't want. Just be
careful to identify the items so you delete the right one.

Right click "Computer" and select properties.
Select "Advanced System Settings".
On the Advanced tab click the button labeled "Settings..." in the "Startup
and Recovery" section.
You should be able to figure out what to do on the Startup and Recovery
dialog.

I downloaded VistaBootPro and it deleted the extra entries in a moment. The
whole process to download, install and fix was 3 minutes. THANKS!

You're welcome. Gary's solution is good as is msconfig
