You can do but BCDedit isn't very user friendly. Instead download VistaBootPro (free) and install it to your machine. Run VistaBootPro and click on the Manage OS tab. You can then remove the second versions entry from there. VistaBootPro certainly beats having to use command lines to edit BCDedit.

As I was stumbling around installing Vista Ultimate 32 I made some mistakes causing me to start over. The second installation went fine and the machine is runnin great. The only problem, really just an iritation, is when it boots up there is a multi-boot screen offering me two Vistas to choose from. Fortunately, the first one seems to be the good one so it will go ahead and boot without intervention. However, I'd like to get rid of the second boot option, and also delete the windows.old.000 directory.
From some investigation I've done on multiboot I know that Vista has a new boot sequence and there is an editor called BCDEdit that can be used. Can I use this tool to get rid of the 2nd Vista?
TIA
Ed
