Installing and using either EasyBCD or VistaBootPro is probably
the easiest way. Both are free for download, and they translate the
difficult BCDedit syntax to point-n-click simplicity. Another way
might be to run "bootrec /rebuildbcd" after you remove the unwanted
OS from the system. Also, try running "msconfig" from the Vista
command prompt and clicking the "BOOT" tab, then delete the OS
from the boot menu.
