Hi Guys, thanks for the helpful comments. I searched for boot.ini but the file doesn't exist in Vista. I read some stuff on the Microsoft IT professionals website and it said that bcd has replaced boot.ini. I have used bcdedit in cmd promt to remove the XP listing but it isn't there either. I am at a loss. Here is a picture I took of the screen on boot up and here is the bcdedit listing. As you can see, only one OS is listed.

Please help if you can! I would hate to format and re-install Vista as I just now how it exactly how I like it. It works very well considering all the negativity surrounding it. This is of course assuming you turn off all the annoying popups and security features!
