BUNK!
Once the boot.ini file is restored you still have to deal with Vista's "bootmbr" file where the real fun begins. Being lazy and not unplugging the primary I had some fun trying to change properies on it for manual deletion. That one file can not be removed with a Live Linux distro either. It's improved form of protection on it there. The "FIXMBR" command at the recovery console simply restores the master boot record from any change made by the beta installer.
The boot.ini file is a simple right click to uncheck the "read only" and open it with NotePad to remove the other lines. That's where you can't plan on right clighting to delete after. Surprise! You now have try dragging it from one window to another in Windows Explorer and keep trying to drag it into the recycle bin. Finally a message asking if you want to delete it will finally appear if you try long enough.
