I haven't started my vista yet! I went straight to Xp home. I'm scared my computer going to crash if I pick the Vista option.
I really want to delete the phantom entries, and I don't want my computer to crash!

Addendum:

please help? I really need fast answers, I'm in dire need. Sorry for sounding impatient.

Hi jtfire, welcome to NST.

If you select a non-working entry, it won't boot but it won't screw up your PC either. You just restart and pick the XP entry and you'll be back on your way like normal.

Now all you need to do though is just delete the entries marked "Deleted Partition" in EasyBCD from the Add/Remove Entries page. I'm assuming Vista really is installed to drive F: and as such, the Vista entry pointing to drive F: is correct.
