RE: removing multiboots?
On your C Drive there is a folder called BOOT (need to remove that) and edit Vista out of your boot.ini

Note: This will render Windows Vista UNBOOTABLE, then you need to format the partition/drive where vista is on.

Yes it will but in boot.ini you can set the time till it goes automatically to the default selected OS.

No, regardless of the timeout value the menu only appears if more than one OS is specified.

Once you delete the BOOT folder on the root of C: it wont come up then when  you clear out the boot.ini of Vista you will be free. Its what I had to do.
