Resolved Deleting Dual Boot Issue

Hello all,

I currently have 2 partitions on my home computer. One with windows xp mc and the other with Windows 7 beta that I was testing. I and done playing around with windows 7 so I want to delete it. I went into windows xp checked that my default OS was XP and it is. The odd this is it does not show windows 7 in the drop down. I thought nothing off it. I also checked the boot.ini and it looks like so:
;
;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=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS= "Windows XP Media Center Edition" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT

Notice no Windows 7 in there either. So I go to the partition with windows 7 on it and deleted it all together. I then re format it so there is nothing left behind. I go to restart my computer and still get:
Boot Options...

Older Version of windows
Windows 7

Anyone know how to get rid of this boot option and just boot right into windows XP? I know it has too do with boot somehow but I cant get rid of it...Also Windows 7 is the default so if i start up my computer and leave the room it will try to start windows 7 and fail and then need to be restarted and I will have to move it "older version of windows" with in the 30 secs or the same thing happens again of corse. Any help would be great.

Thanks!

 

No one?!?!

 

You'll need to boot to the Recovery Console and run the fixmbr and fixboot commands.

SEE THIS.

 

That worked! Thanks so much!

 

Thanks for the feedback so others can share.

All the best,
