Windows Boot loader - Please HELP

[sonxEr77]

Hi, i deleted the partition which contained Vista using Xp Disk Management Utility .. But when i boot the system, is still gives me two options : Windows Vista OR Previous/Older Windows OS (XP in this case) ... When i view boot.ini, this is what shows

;
;Warning: Boot.ini is used on Windows XP and earlier operating systems.
;Warning: Use BCDEDIT.exe to modify Windows Vista boot options.

[operating systems]

Right click on My Computer, click properties. Go to "advanced system settings" and click on the "advanced" tab. You can set the properties you want there.

...Shows only one windows OS there (please check the details of the boot.ini i provided) ... I think these multi-boot setting were on the deleted Vista boot.ini, am surprise is still showing cause i've formatted the drive ...

You can use EasyBCD (Google it) to use the Vista bootloader to boot whatever operating system drive you may want to use. Otherwise use a Windows XP disk and repair your bootloader for XP by entering the recovery console and going to the command prompt, type in: "fixboot" and "fixmbr". If you still get the same problem, go back into the recovery console and into the command prompt and typing "copy d:\i386\ntldr c:\" and "copy d:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\" (This is assuming your drive is C:\ and your DVD/CD drive is D:\. Replace where applicable.

Trick is to get to DOS to do that, my Xp Boot is not detected to get there? Trying to configure booting from Flash now ... wish me luck
