[TUT] How To Remove an OS from Windows Dual Boot Config(For Windows 7 & XP)

How To Remove an OS from Windows Dual Boot Config [Step-by-Step]

1. Boot into the NON Windows 7 OS (original OS before you installed Windows 7 as a dual-boot). For most people this would mean booting into your Vista install however I’m going to guess there might be a few who setup a Dual-Boot config with Windows 2008 also (me for instance).


2. Click Windows Start button and Type msconfig and Press Enter (or click it with mouse)



2. Click Boot Tab, Click the OS you want to keep and Click Set as default



3. Click Windows 7 OS and Click Delete. Click OK




What you just did was remove Windows 7 from the Windows Boot manager so now it will no longer show up when you boot the computer. Essentially, the computer is no longer a Dual-Boot System (2 Windows Versions installed).



The next steps is to just simply delete the Windows 7 .VHD file.
