Remove dual vista?

I had a cpu fan die and the computer would not turn on, so i thought it
was my hard drive. Replaced the hard drive and installed Vista but not
completely. Then found that the cpu fan wasn't working, replaced that
and put my old drive back in.

Now when Vista starts up i get an error screen asking to press enter.
When pressing enter i get a choice of 2 vista installations. Only one
works, the old one, so i always choose that.

For me its not a problem but this freaks out the other employees here.
So i need to get rid of the half completed installation.

How do i do this?

Thanks.

Try 'EasyBSD' (http://sourceforge.net/projects/easybsd/). It can help
you to remove non working Vista boot option.

Hi,

Click start, type msconfig and hit <enter> to open the system configuration
utility. On the boot tab, select the unwanted reference and click on delete.

Hi,

Then you'll need to use bcdedit, see:
