I have XP installed on one drive and Win 7 installed on a new, separate SSD. The Win 7 install put Windows dual boot on the XP drive. However, I prefer to use the BIOS boot menu to select between the two system.
From Win 7, I created a BCD on its drive and added only Win 7 to it. This works AOK and thank you very much.
Then I used EasyBCD on XP to remove the entry for Win 7 from the XP BCD so the only entry in that BCD is the one for XP. From the doc, under Deleting Menu Entries, I had thought that if there is only entry, that the boot menu would be hidden and the system would automatically boot into the remaining OS. However, when I boot from the XP drive it displays a boot menu with just the XP system.
What would be the appropriate actions to take to have XP boot automatically?
