Board index » Windows Vista » Making vista the primary operating system.

Windows Vista25
I just performed an upgrade of my operating system from xp to vista. Now,

every time I start the computer, I get a black screen asking me if I want to

run xp, vista or an earlier version of windows. How can I make vista the

primary os? Thanks.

Hello Dona,



This free program can fix things for you

www.vistabootpro.org/" >www.vistabootpro.org/



If you dont have XP anymore you can remove that entry of XP thus Vista will

boot directly

OR if you have XP and you want to make Vista the primary OS again there is a

setting there.

Use EasyBCD to delete the XP setup entry on the Boot manager.



EasyBCD by NeoSmart Technologies would be your answer, it provides a

graphical front end to the BCDEdit Command line that makes it easy for you

to define start-up settings and edit boot entries on the new Windows boot

manager.

It is unclear what you are trying to fix. There is no problem at all. DO NOT

TRY TO FIX ANYTHING. That malicious noninflammable character is here to

create trouble for the inexperienced.



This is a Normal behavior. What if you decided tomorrow to use your XP?



Every person who has two or three partitions has this MS Boot Management

message on the screen.



Your Vista is PRIMARY, go to sleep assured it is the case.



Raise your finger and push Carriage Return. It will help. Some expect MS to

wipe their behinds and crooks like noninflammable are taking advantage of

them.

Forget it. Nobody needs your easyBCD. It is not an issue here. She does not

understand that this is NORMAL behavior.



Cancel easyBCD, Donna, ask for your money back.

Thanks Shawn. This is what I needed to know. It's one of those things that

would be nice to have Microsoft put in installation instructions so I

wouldn't waste so much time worrying about it. I don't remember ever seeing

this screen when I upgraded from ME to XP.

the correct answer was given by me..



if she upgraded that means she no longer has XP and should remove the entry

as I said.



If she thought you upgraded but has a dual boot then her pc is mixed up..

lol



what you said only hides the problem.. that any tech would spot in

seconds...

the following mean:
