Hello,
Hmm.
OK open and elevated cmd prompt and run:
bcdedit /delete {ntldr} /f
This is the syntax for the delete command for bcdedit. The last entry in
this is the example of the above command.
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /delete /?
This command deletes an entry from the boot configuration data store.
bcdedit [/store <filename>] /delete <id> [/f] [/cleanup | /nocleanup]
<filename> Specifies the store to be used. If this option is not
specified, the system store is used. For more
information,
run "bcdedit /? store".
<id> Specifies the identifier of the boot entry that you
want to
delete. For more information about identifiers,
run "bcdedit /? ID".
/f Deletes the specified entry. Without this option,
Bcdedit
will not delete any entries that have a well-known
identifier.
/cleanup Deletes the specified entry and removes the entry from
the
display order. Any other references to the entry being
deleted will also be removed from the store. When
deleting
an OS loader entry, the associated resume from
hibernation
entry is also deleted if it is not referenced by any
other
OS loaders. This option is assumed unless /nocleanup is
specified.
/nocleanup Deletes the specified entry without removing the entry
from
the display order.
Examples:
The following command deletes the specified operating system entry from the
store and removes the entry from the display order:
bcdedit /delete {cbd971bf-b7b8-4885-951a-fa03044f5d71}
The following command deletes the specified operating system entry from the
store and removes the entry from the display order:
bcdedit /delete {cbd971bf-b7b8-4885-951a-fa03044f5d71} /cleanup
The following command deletes the specified operating system entry from the
store without removing the entry from the display order:
bcdedit /delete {cbd971bf-b7b8-4885-951a-fa03044f5d71} /nocleanup
The following command deletes the NTLDR based OS loader entry from the
store:
bcdedit /delete {ntldr} /f
