2 entries of windows 7 on boot menu

I had windows 7 installed but i decided to make a larger partition so i could play around more. So i formatted the partition and enlarged it and re-installeed windows 7. Now I have 2 entries of Windows 7 and one of Vista.

Any ideas on how to remove one of the windows 7 entries?

 

Try easybcd..

It allows you to remove an entry, rename an entry etc etc.. Very ez to use. Make sure u delete the correct entry.

 

Yep, jibberz pointed you the right way. That's the best way to do it with Vista (and will be with 7 as well if it uses the same boot system, and I see no reason why it wouldn't).

 

if EasyBCD is not compatible then you could try BCDEdit command in Win7

Just start a CMD with Admin Previlage

1. Type

Code:

bcdedit.exe

it should display something like this

Code:

Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier              {bootmgr}
device                  partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume1
description             Windows Boot Manager
locale                  en-US
inherit                 {globalsettings}
default                 {default}
resumeobject            {f91df9c2-df1c-11dd-b1bc-c8fc28aa92c6}
displayorder            {current}
                        {default}
toolsdisplayorder       {memdiag}
timeout                 30

Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
identifier              {current}
device                  partition=C:
path                    \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description             Windows 7
locale                  en-US
inherit                 {bootloadersettings}
recoverysequence        {f91df9c4-df1c-11dd-b1bc-c8fc28aa92c6}
recoveryenabled         Yes
osdevice                partition=C:
systemroot              \Windows
resumeobject            {f91df9c2-df1c-11dd-b1bc-c8fc28aa92c6}
nx                      OptIn

Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
identifier              {default}
device                  partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume1
path                    \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description             Microsoft Windows Vista
locale                  en-US
inherit                 {bootloadersettings}
osdevice                partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume1
systemroot              \Windows
resumeobject            {a77450a3-92be-11dd-ac5c-991ff432a142}
nx                      OptIn

then review and find the duplicate and its resumeobject id . for example if i want to delete windows vista here then my resumeobject id would be {a77450a3-92be-11dd-ac5c-991ff432a142}

then in the cmd prompt type

Code:

bcdedit /delete {a77450a3-92be-11dd-ac5c-991ff432a142} /cleanup 

this will remove the entry from BCD store and list in the boot menu

 

ok, ty all i got it now.

 

Erm, open msconfig and change the boot options.

That seems easier to me. When I was dual booting from my external hard drive I had to go into that to make Vista boot by default.

thats what i did.
