Dual
booting two operating systems is a cool way to manage computer
resources, however if you get back to single boot, the Boot record
could still be showing the previous Instances. In my case I was
installing Kali Linux using the Debian setup that sets up the
environment of installing the Linux Operating System to dual boot
with Windows 7. The Linux OS installed successfully but the Debian
GNU/Linux - Continue with install process entry
remained in the
Windows boot record.
To
remove one entry so the windows boot directly without prompting me to
choose an instance, this is the process
Run
the Command prompt as
Administrator,
Type
BCDEdit to display
the running configuration of the boot loader.
This
displays the instances of Operating Systems Installed in the computer
and a present in the Boot Loader configuration.
To
remove the unwanted entry; Debian GNU/Linux - Continue with
install process in my case;
Type
BCDEdit /delete {boot loader identifier};
In my case BCDEdit /delete
{934f384a-f4a8-11e3-9b19-f0b1fa384968} then
press enter.
The entry is deleted from the boot loader configuration and the you wont be prompted to choose operating system to continue with during boot process.
However
exercise caution when entering the boot loader indentifier because if
the Windows identifier is entered during this process the Operating
System may be rendered unbootable.
