Can only boot in to Vista with install disk in cd-rom

For some reason my install got messed up and I get the old "no Os present strike any key when ready..." if the Vista CD is not in the CD rom...

... if it is it goes through the "strike any key to boot in to installer.. yada yada yada and then gives me 2 boot loaders to choose from (this is a single OS configuration though - something ogt messed up and I had to reinstall - but no dual boot)

I tried using EasBCD to fix it but I really do not know what i am doing.

The C drive is a hardware raid 0 array I have not had issues with in the past and there is one more D drive on the system - ededit.exe shows this output:

Any ideas?
 
Hello Thaidog, welcome to NST,

Thats normal. The first entry is nothing more than telling bcd where it can find itself. It shouldn't be appearing at boot up.
