Thank you so much! This was a major annoyance and this helped to fix my situation, I was about to format my entire system and restore from a Ghost image when this web hit saved me all that extra work, seems that Vista just won't play on a 10gig partition on my laptop and with only a 40gig laptop drive I didn't have many options!

Again thanks

Please donate your old boxes to a church-group or some needy student in these hard times! To comply with the law, and with Microsoft's leasing policy, you can now replace Microsoft OS with the free (download from the net) Ubuntu OS, which can be set to erase the hard drive of all traces of the “illegal to give away ” Microsoft system and your private information, before donation! Now, explain to your lucky recipient that all the manuals they will ever need are available for free on the internet! Just ask for them in Google! OpenOffice, which is installed already is plenty adequate for homework assignments and with a little exploring, everything else can work well too! Happy computing!

finally got this crap dual boot off my machine!.
my fix was via the link in the comment above.
visited it and downloaded Vistaboot pro 3.3.

i was screwed cause i added vista on a 2nd partition. deleted it and the dual boot menu stayed. my other machine had the same issue. thing is I had the XP pro CD for my other machine so i did what this post mentions (FIXMBR and FIXBOOT) and no problem.
this PC has XPhome and my other XP CD would not allow me into recovery.

so dual boot with only XP OS. the Vistaboot pro 3.3. did the trick in 2 minues. removed VISTA from the menu, rebooted and went straight to my XP OS. thanks to anonymous for the program hint. the link in this comment is todownload the program, not my website :)

Please do not follow these instructions if you’re trying to uninstall RC1. I did and am now re-installing XP…hoping my second partition will be available when I’m finished. No guarantees, but this sounds like it would have been the way to go: http://www.istartedsomething.com/20060622/installing-and-uninstall-vista-beta-2-for-dual-boot-with-xp/

Good luck. It’s a shame Vista at the RC1 level doesn’t support more NIC drivers!

its not too easy to restore the bootloader but you could run
BOOTCFG /REBUILD
from the recovery console to add it to the boot.ini file and boot from it
