The only thing I can recommend is to google 'how to edit bcdedit.exe' or 'editing boot configuring data' or try this ms help and support link - >

BCDEdit Commands for Boot Environment

[sam92]

Edit the boot.ini file on c:\ , its a system file , hence go and make it visible first.

Else go to system properties , advanced , start up and recovery , settings and go and edit this file from here or change some options.

(P.S. this was in XP , I am expecting it to be same in Vista)

EDIT : run windows DOS(start->run->command) , type bcdedit.exe , now you will need to remove unwanted entries.

this thing went WAY above my head

You can boot into VIsta proper right? You just want the other two options being prompted on boot up removed, am I correct?

[niks_devil666]

^ I guess you'll have to rewrite the MBR , google about it and you might get something

@Aryan,
Contact Mass Computers @ N.P. , Delhi. Ask for 1TB Caviar SE Green 1TB Sata II HD.
Priced approx ~ 5850/- . Performance drive, no doubt!
Btw, 1TB MyBook Essental Protable HD costs ~6K. Try SMC Internationals also.
Good Luck buddy!

Great, thanks for the information guys.

I had a simple enough question. On a budget of about Rs.5k, what is the highest capacity hard disk drive that one can buy?

My HDD is almost full (it's a 300GB one), and my big B says he needs as large a HDD under Rs.5k!

As Niks said a SEAGATE 1 TB with 32 MB cache is 4550 in Chennai(excluding tax). Prices - http://www.deltapage.com/
