Remove Windows installing on the Windows Boot Manager

Title: two Windows Vistas on my PC

I installed windows vista on my pc, but it wasn't working properly, so I installed it again.  When my computer starts it now goes to windows Boot Manager where there are two window vista operating systems.  The first is OS (C) data D, and the second is OS (D) data C.  First of all, why my computer goes to the window instead of going directly boot manager in windows vista.  Second, how remove the windows version of vista that I do not want to and get the one I want to get into Windows vista without using the Boot Manager?

Hi BertieBarfield,

To remove an entry in the Windows Vista Boot Configuration, the simplest method is to use msconfig.

To start msconfig:

(a) click Start

(b) in the search text box, type msconfig

(c) launch msconfig by selecting it in the results of search above the search text box.

After that the system configuration is launched:

(d) go to the Startup tab

(e) select the boot entry to remove.

(f) click the button Delete and then click OK.

Note: Be sure to be connected to the Windows Vista partition, you want to keep when you perform these steps if you do not remove the good installation by mistake, this will cause data loss.

    Original title: how to stop the boot to the power manager to the top

    I have a Dell Inspiron 15R-5520 with windows 7 64 bit. Everytime I turn it on, I get a screen of windows boot manager with options should I select manually every time I want to use the device. Looking for information/links on how to eliminate this from happening without a re - install?

    Hello

    If you have more than one operating system installed on your computer, you can choose the one that starts when you turn on your computer. More than one operating system installed on a computer is often called a multiboot configuration.

    If you try to select only the operating system by default to start when you turn on or restart your computer, you can see and try the steps to set the default operating system.

    You can also set the time of the display of the operating system from the list.

    Change the default operating system for startup (multiboot)

    Note: This article also applies to Windows 7.

    If you do not use the other operating system, you can also try the following steps to remove the entry from the boot order and check:

    a. click Start , Start search box type msconfig and press ENTER.

    b. click on the Startup tab.

    c. you will see the number of operating systems installed, select the operating system you want to remove.

    d. now click on Remove.

    e. click apply and Ok

    f. restart the computer and check.

    Hello

    If you do not, use another PC to create a rescue CD Windows 7.  Download the ISO relevant among the links below.

    Windows 7 32 bit

    Windows 7 64 bit

    You must use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  One time created, or if you already have this, typing away at the esc key when you launch Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Insert the rescue CD.  Select boot options (usually f9), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

    When loading, select repair your computer and choose the command prompt.  When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.

    Bootrec.exe

    bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

  • Can I enable disable the Windows Boot Manager?

    My Vista Home Premium 64 has a great deal for a year.  Now, at the start, I get "Windows Boot Manager" (a scary BACK-looking screen) which delays the start-up for 30 seconds, and everything seems to work MUCH more slowly.  I think the problem started when I installed Norton Ghost 14.  Can I disable this thing WBM somehow and have always Windows Vista starts successfully?  How?

    The change occurred because of an option in Ghost. Ghost may have given you an option to create a recovery partition and you took it. Consult the manual of Ghost or its options or contact Symantec technical support. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Start window manager: sometimes when I started my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.

    Sometimes when I start my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.  Although there are several options available, that nothing happens no matter what keys I hit and the only option is to shut down the computer and restart completely.  Sometimes the Boot Manager page turns and my office sometimes opens fine.  I've updated with everything Microsoft has Windows Vista and I still get this screen.  Anyone has any ideas.

    Do a startup repair and see if that fixes it:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • Replaced the HARD drive on N5010, put in "Windows Boot Manager" error

    I'm having N5010 and installed the new Seagate hdd. I used the dell recovery disk (created when the system has increased with the old hard drive) for installed Windows 7 and all the software came as part of the original image. After successful installation, first time I've seen Windows is started and I could see the Win7 desktop. After this, I restarted the laptop, and then he not start instead showing "Windows boot manager" error that windows does not load... error 0xc000000e...

    Can you please help me solve this problem?

    I thank in advance.

    Kind regards

    Thanks again.

    The error specified in the link is not same as I get.

    But I tried another option yesterday almost similar to what I had created image of Norton Ghost of my operating system partition.

    -First I used the Dell recovery disk to store everything. Given that this option was not working and give me same above error.

    -File Win7 Home Premium ISO downloaded from http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-58997.iso

    -Burned the ISO to a DVD and booted up the laptop with this DVD.

    -Norton Ghost image restored to the OS partition using Norton software used for the creation of the image

    -Tried but got the same error, then I started mobile uses DVD Win7 and selected option to repair windows

    -Ensure the OS partition is 'active' with Partition Wizard (http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html)

    -Even once when I first started, I saw error like "Repair Windows (recommended)" or "run windows normally.

    -Selected "Run Windows normally", after that I have found no problem. My laptop works perfectly without any startup errors.

    Thanks for your help.

    In fact, Norton Ghost Image helped me restore the operating system on the new HARD drive and as I went through a lot of discussion on this forum before doing this exercise.

  • Windows Boot Manager, I want to change the Configuration of hard disk

    I have a computer with two former 500 GB Hard Drives.  The "Legacy" operating system is installed on the first physical hard disk in the system and Windows 7 is installed on the second physical hard disk, they are the identical WD drives.  I bought a new Seagate Barracuda 1000 GB drive, I want to use in place of the mark.

    So currently I have:

    SATA-0, score 0: Legacy 500 GB OS

    SATA-5, score 0: 500 GB Windows 7

    With the new player, I want to:

    SATA-0, score 0: Legacy 500 GB OS

    SATA-0, Partition 1: 500 GB Windows 7

    I have disk imaging software, able to copy both disks to the new partitions on the new disk.  What I want to know is how can ensure me that I continue to get the start menu to see the two operating systems.

    Of course, I will still have the old hard disks available, and I can always put them in.  It's just that the cloning process takes a long time, and I would like to have my procedure in advance.  The first time I have start the system with the 1 TB drive, it will not be a disk of 500 Go SATA-5, score 0: in the computer.  I don't know which files must be modified to search for Windows 7 in the new location.

    I shouldn't need to do a reinstall of windows.  I think I found the answer to what I was looking elsewhere.

    I remember that two years ago, when I set up the Dual boot system, I followed these instructions:

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/8057-dual-boot-installation-Windows-7-XP.html

    When I did, I had a dual boot menu:

    -Old Version of Windows

    -Windows 7 Professional

    Of course I meant "Windows XP" rather than "earlier Version of Windows.  I searched and found that a tool exists to modify this menu.  I don't remember what they called the tool when I presented this request.  I was pretty sure that the tool would allow me to have the change of start menu where he sought the installation of Windows7.

    Today, I found the name of the tool, it is called BCDEDIT. EXE.  It allows you to safely edit the menu file, and startup locations resemble the old file boot.ini of Windows NT days.  Here's what the tool then generates on the command line.

  • Error: "no physical memory is available to the location required for the windows boot manager." The system cannot continue. "

    I have a stable system that works with a processor E6300, card mother evga 680i, graphics card 8800gts and 8gbs of RAM running on ulitmate windows 7 (32 bits - I decided to re - install with 64-bit to use the extra 4 GB of RAM, after I deal with the question below).

    I recently tried to add an adapter of Intel RS2WC080 SAS/SATA controller in a PCI express slots on the card mother 680i. I know that the card works (such as "it works very well in another motherboard), but for some reason when I put it in the 680i mobo I get the following message appears when I try to start windows. (i.e. the raid controller has no windows on the disks. I always use original hard drive always connected on the same Sata port on the motherboard)

    "No physical memory is available to the location required for the windows boot manager." The system cannot continue. "

    I tried to turn off virtually everything I could in the bios of the motherboard as an experience (including the things I needed). I also disabled the Intel RS2WC080 card bios.

    I'm puzzled. So what I want to know is simply a hardware compatibility problem, or is there some kind of workaround I can run in windows 7. For example, is there maybe some sort of way for her to start using a different memory location than its currently using? (Or is it something error message related to the memory of the bios that can only be overcome with software?)

    Thanks for any help.

    I tried to disable everything in the bios... including the things I needed. No luck

    Thank you very much for the reply Chris but I don't have abandoned bascially. Right now I guess the card and the 680i have some kind of incompatibility and I will just get a different mobo.

    Hi Maddy,

    This problem may occur if the Windows startup files are damaged or missing.

    If your computer has integrated system recovery options, you can try to perform the Startup Repair and check if it helps.

    If it fails, you must have a Windows Vista installation disc and try to parade Startup Repair boot from the disc.

    If the problem persists, try the steps in the article to rebuild BCD, boot from the installation disc.

    Use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    Because you replaced the hard drive, you can also get in contact with the Dell helpdesk for assistance.

    Hope the helps of information.

    2. Click Advanced system settings.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Click the Advanced tab, and then under Startup and recovery, click settings.

  • Code 0cx0000225 Windows Boot Manager

    When trying to install Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit OEM) on a machine that I had built just the disk booted from the DVD OK drive, load it "load files in memory" and "starting Windows" appeared briefly followed by a Windows Boot Manager screen.  He said that 'an unexpected error occurred' and "Windows was able to start" (as I couldn't understand as mine!).  He said that this may have been "the result of a recent change of hardware or software.  The given code is '0cx0000225 '.

    When clicking 'next' you're presented with another screen and asked to choose an operating system.  The only choice is "Windows Setup [EMS allows] ' or 'tools' may run with a diagnosis of memory being the only choice.  Select "Windows Setup [active MDT]" puts you in a loop.  I've run the memory test and it found no errors.  The problem could not be the result of "software changes" since he had no installed, and I checked all the equipment of direct substitution, to include card motherboard and CPU.  Everything looks good except in the eyes of Windows Boot Manager!

    Frustrated, I tried to install Windows Vista Ultimate (64 bit) with the same results.  The machine has an AMD Phenom II x 4 (925) CPU on a card mother ASUS M4A89GTD Pro/USB3.  It has 8 GB of DDR3 RAM 1333 MHz (PC3-10600).  The unformatted hard drive is a 1 to Seagate ST31000521AS.  I checked all the cables and other connections.  I've also been repeatedly CMOS and try some ideas without result.  Over the years, I have built more than 500 systems, but I have to admit that I am at my wits end with this one!  someone help?

    See the following article on this problem with Windows 7 and how a person was able to solve it.  Maybe this could work for you as well. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itproinstall/thread/49db278b-bd0a-495e-8b50-7287a5bb840f.  Before you remove anything, just start by reducing the minimum required RAM and see if only the round is played.
