Question : Windows 7 install did not complete - need to remove or change default boot loader

A user had a Windows XP system (2g memory, up to date with installs) and tried to install Windows 7 Home Premium on this.  The install was not successful.    It suggested going into recovery which failed.
At any rate - now it tried to boot Windows 7, fails and keeps recycling in a reboot.  How can we remove the Windows 7 updates or at least change it so that when it boots, it boots back to XP?
It comes up with a console saying:

Windows boot manager
Earlier Version of Windows
Windows Setup Tollback

but defaults to Tollback.  If we are quick enough and select "earlier version..." it boots fine in XP.  We have tried tochange the settings in startup & recovery to select "earlier version" but that does not seem to work.
How can we just get rid of the Windows 7 install or just have it always boot the the "earlier version" of Windows

Answer : Windows 7 install did not complete - need to remove or change default boot loader

Ok this may fix your issue, i understand that you can boot windows xp if you have the time to scroll down and select earlier version correct, basically you want to delete the other options as I understand,

1. Please go to control Panel
2. Click on System
3. On winfows System select the tab Advanced
4. under startup and recovery select settings

then you can select you default operating system
and reduce the time to 0 seconds that way the pc will boot XP right away
OR you can click on edit it will look something like this:

;
;Warning: Boot.ini is used on Windows XP and earlier operating systems.
;Warning: Use BCDEDIT.exe to modify Windows Vista boot options.
;
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT /usepmtimer

if you deleted the lines of the operating that you dont desire to have it will delete from the menu when the pc is booting
