Hello, i recently installed Vista Ultimate x64 and i selected the clean install option. However, when I boot, there is an option for Windows Vista Ultimate and Old Windows Operating system or something like that. My question is, How can i get rid of that OS on my hard drive without reinstalling Vista?

Here is what it says (it was in boot.ini.backup)
-
For Vista, you will need to use EasyBCD to edit it out.
You didnt do the clean install properly, you selected the option that puts your old OS in storage. -
Is it pretty easy to do using EasyBCD?
-
Yeah, pretty easy. Install EasyBCD > Open > Add/Remove Entries > Select the unwanted entry/OS > Delete > Save. Restart to confirm.
You can backup the current settings, in the Manage Bootloader window > Backup Settings. -
thanks!I got it figured out. now i deleted Easy BCD off my computer now i am trying to delete the easyBCD icon off of my desktop but its not allowing it. Do i need to reinstall EasyBCD then delete the icon then uninstall or is there a trick?

Uninstall would have been better. Try reinstalling it, then uninstall, and the desktop icon should be removed automatically. Don't delete the icon manually.
2 OS's showing up at boot screen
