Mr. Byte i LOVE you! you’ve just saved me…didn’t have any idea how to delete an OS and was trying to use MS-DOS as advised by some people online but this is the easiest and quickest way thanks

@John
I deleted win7 from my xp machine and ran into the same problem (win7 grub still loading) I used EasyBCD and changed the default boot to “older version of windows” then went in and removed the win7 boot in add/remove entries.

I’ve been at this for HOURS trying to get the computer to boot into anything outside of windows and win7 does NOT like that. (I kept getting errors about btldr is missing any time I tried booting to windows xp recovery or even into DOS!)

eventually I may go to a full install of win7, but for now I like my xp and I’m glad I was able to remove the GRUB with this tool

I had a beta version of Windows 7 on partitioned drive with XP home as other OS however 7 has been accidentally deleted (formatted). When I boot the PC I still get the prompt to use Win 7 or earlier version of Windows. How can I get rid of this prompt and only boot with XP automatically? System config – boot.ini shows:
;
; Warning; Boot.ini is used by windows XP an earlier operating systems
; Warning; Use BCDEDIT ……….
;
[bootloader]
Timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP home edition”/NOEXECUTE=OPTIN/FASTDETECT

Ok I have the windows 7 Beta as my OS. I want to delete it but the Vista is not there so I would not have an operating system. What do I do?

Can I use this method to remove Windows Vista instead?

I’m running a dual boot with Vista/Win 7

Satisfied with Win7 atm

Dude, I did everything you said exactly as you said to do, and it worked perfectly! It couldn’t have gone any smoother including the way you instructed us to recover the volume space. I only deviated to the extent that I couldn’t completely shrink the volume so I forced it by using the delete function and it went straight away. Thank you for such accurate and clear insructions and guidance in regard to this matter.
I was provided Windows 7 by my computer manufacturer H-P and I am glad I didn’t purchase it because that OS is bunk and a waste of money. It doesn’t even have the features that Vista has and I was provided the Premium version. I would have regretted paying for something such that.
Thank you once again.

I’ve not gotten any Lytebyte news letters lately. Have you just been inactive ? I suspect you’ll be very busy now that Win 7 is out. I would like to see detailed information about upgrading from Windows XP Pro? Is there a safe way to do it without having to having to reload all of your applications ?
