Hi everyone,
I purchased and installed Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) yesterday on my HP DV9000. This laptop has dual hard drives, in the past I had Vista installed on the primary hard drive OS (Cand Windows 7 beta set up for dual boot in a separate partition of my Data (D
drive. I downloaded Windows 7 yesterday as a .exe installer (must have missed the option to download it as an iso file, I would have preferred to create a bootable CD) and in preparation for the install I backed up all my files to my external hard drive (I wanted a clean install) and deleted the Windows 7 beta partition through disk management. I chose a custom install on my OS hard drive and let everything finish. The first thing I did was delete all the files that were placed in the Windows (old) folder as I already had all my files in my external drive and everything seemed to be working perfectly fine. However I just noticed that on startup I still have the two OS options, both called Windows 7
Apparently the beta version somehow still appears as an option on startup even though I deleted that partition...how do I remove the beta version from my startup options?
Thanks!
Dan

That link may help. It's not exactly what you want to do, but it should point you in the right direction. -
Just delete the other windows 7 make sure its the correct one. Be careful deleting the wrong one may mean a reinstall of windows 7.
