Default How to Remove Dual Boot

Load the beta and so far so good but when it installed it automatically kept
my previous OS (XP x64). Don't have much room left on my C drive and want to
test run my programs. I know I can just delete the windows.old directory but
how do I edit the bootloader?

That XP Pro x64 I can guarantee you is not bootable. Use VistaBootPRO to
edit the Boot Manager.

What you wrote doesn't sound like you want to remove dual boot, BUT if
you want to remove Vista ...
First note YOUR config, then go here:
http://www.pro-networks.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=74987

#2. Where one has DUAL BOOTED with another operating system

#3 starts ...
To remove Windows Vista from a MULTI-BOOT environment where it has been
installed on a system containing two or more other "Legacy" operating
systems, and with Windows Vista still fully installed, insert your
Windows XP CD into your CD/DVD Drive and reboot....

etc
