    When I open up my labtop, the "Windows Book Manager" pops you and lets me choice between any opperating systems, but the problem is that they are the same, I have two Windows Vista's on my computer. Can anybody point me in the right (And understandable) direction? Thanks

    1. Open a command promot as administrator (right click, run as administrator).

    2. Type bcdedit and press enter.

    3. Note the ID of the entry you wish to delete from the bootloader.

    4. Type /delete {id of boot entry to remove}

    Job done.
    You could also change the "timeout" of the bootloader to 0 if you only have one entry, it will then auto-boot your selected entry. I think the command for that would be /timeout within BCDEDIT.
    If you google BCDEDIT, you will find plenty more commands that could be useful.
