On my computer, i dual booted Vista Home and Vista Ultimate. but I recently deleted the partition that contained Ultimate so that my Home has more hard drive space. Well it worked.

BUT when i boot, it still asks me if i want to boot from Home or Ultimate. I cant get the Boot Manager to not read ultimate any more. Its not that bad though, jut annoying as heck. I already tried to FixBoot a couple times, but it still reads that there is an ultimate. anyone know how to fix this?



And in case you were wondering, if choose ultimate, it just loads that Microsoft load screen and does nothing els
 
Well a for sure way to get rid of this is to refortmat the hard drive, then reinstall the os that you want. Make a partition and all that.

I'm just curios to why you wanted to dual boot two diffrent versions of vista?
 
only way to get rid of it 100% you DO NOT HAVE TO REFORMAT.

go to run and type in msconfig. then go to the boot tab and youll see 2 listings for OS to pick when booting. delete the one thats not set as your default and your all set
 
just one question.....why would you dual boot Vista home premium AND Ultimate? :confused: :D

they are basicly the same exept Ultimate has a few added features.

why dont you just install Ultimate?

hahaha its a pretty good reason i think. My home vista is all customized to preform EXTREMELY well(not very eye pleasing). I use it to do High quality video editing and picture editing.

and then i used the ultimate for looks(web browsing, IMing, and Music)

and i finally mega upgraded my computer, so now my Home vista looks and performs great.

thats just editing the boot.ini, right?
 
yes that alters the boot.ini file. but if theres not OS there the boot.ini sometiems will keep the listing there.

msconfig is fastest way to get rid of it 100%.
