Select Windows Vista -- Command Prompt. Execute this at command prompt: Code: bootrec.exe /fixmbr bootrec.exe /fixboot Close Command Prompt window and restart. It will remove GRUB and Vista will boot up on reboot. __________________ It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing. - Gertrude Stein New Users: Read This First Last edited by devils casper; 03-05-2008 at 06:38 AM..

Than I went in Vista, installed Easy BCD and added xp to boot configuration file. Thanks anyway __________________ Signature removed by Moderator - please refer to forum rules!
