okay so i'm running dual boot XP MCE is my first OS, and i have Plop boot manager installed to the boot.ini of that OS, then i installed 7 as my second OS after 7 was installed this is what my first boot screen has in options (i've edited the "previous version of windows"): Windows XP Media Center Windows 7 Plop but when i choose plop nothing happens, says "problem loading plpbt.bin, press any key to reboot" so i want to remove Plop from the boot manager, but when i check bcdedit from 7 there is no listing whatsoever for Plop. here's a paste: Windows Boot Manager -------------------- identifier {bootmgr} device partition=D: description Windows Boot Manager locale en-US inherit {globalsettings} default {current} resumeobject {361eb224-9282-11e0-8858-8a634d1a9435} displayorder {ntldr} {current} toolsdisplayorder {memdiag} timeout 7 Windows Legacy OS Loader ------------------------ identifier {ntldr} device partition=D: path \ntldr description Windows XP Media Center Windows Boot Loader ------------------- identifier {current} device partition=C: path \Windows\system32\winload.exe description Windows 7 locale en-US inherit {bootloadersettings} recoverysequence {361eb226-9282-11e0-8858-8a634d1a9435} recoveryenabled Yes osdevice partition=C: systemroot \Windows resumeobject {361eb224-9282-11e0-8858-8a634d1a9435} nx OptIn pae ForceDisable So what do i do to remove Plop from my boot manager options since it is not present in bcdedit? i'm going to reinstall Plop on the 7 partition anyway, but i need to remove this first. help, ideas???
