Failed 2003 Setup

[Rolfe Spiegel]

Hello,
I have a working copy of Vista. I tried to install Windows2003 Server on top
of Vista, but failed when I didn't have the 2003 driver for my storage
controller. Now, when I boot the computer, I get the "Windows Boot Manager"
screen with two options, "Microsoft Windows Vista" and "Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 Standard Edition Setup". The option for 2003 Setup is the
default, with a 30 second selection delay. If I either choose this option, or
wait for 30 seconds to choose itself, I then get an error
"\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BIOSINFO.INF could not be loaded [new line] The error code is
14 [new line] Setup can not continue" and I have to reboot. The non-default
option for "Microsoft Windows Vista" works fine, and boots up correctly, but
since it's not the default, I have to select it every time. Remote restarts
are not possible because of the faulty (failed) 2003 default option.

Vista BCDEdit does not see the 2003 startup option. I think the Boot Manager
is left over from the failed 2003 install, but I don't know how to get rid of
it. I've tried things like rewriting the Vista MBR, but that didn't work
either.

How can I get rid of this old Boot Manager, and make my computer start up in
Vista automatically?

Rolfe,

For setting Vista as the default boot OS have you tried the following?

To set the default boot OS,in Control Panel?

Control Panel>System>Choose Advanced system settings>choose advanced
tab>choose Startup and Recovery Settings button>at the top choose the default
operating system.
