Hi all I recently installed windows7 home premium, the problem is it didnt give me the option to boot from disc which would have given me the option to format the partition i wanted to install it on, so i installed from the D drive, the installation grabed vista and put it into a windows.old folder which is sitting on my C drive(the same drive that Win7 is) now on start up it gives me a dual boot option how can i get rid of vista and dual boot option?

Download EasyBCD & use it to remove the bogus entry from your bootmenu. Remember to delete the Windows.old folder as well. Windows 7 News!

awesome thanks ill give that a go

thanks sabertooth that fixed the dual boot issue, but can you help with this i tried to delete windows.old and all but folder within(program files) were deleted. it wont let me delete the folder because it says that a file or folder within windows.old is open in another program. inside( windows.old/progam files/windows live/messenger.) im thinking i need to take the winddows live/messenger files and put them in the W7 program files folder what do you think?

Try this: -- Click Start & type Disk Cleanup in the search field. -- Next click Disk Cleanup. -- On the UAC prompt, click OK & click Continue. -- In the Disk Cleanup:Drive Selection dialog box, select the hard disk drive that you want to clean up & click OK. -- On Disk Cleanup tab click on the Clean up System Files icon -- Let Windows analyze the system files. -- From the Disk Cleanup tab & check-mark the "Files discarded by Windows Upgrade" check box, then click OK. -- If prompted to confirm the removal of files, click Delete Files. -- This should get rid of the Windows.old folder.
