Machine Prompting to load Win7 or Windows Setup after installation

After the huge headache of trying to install Win7 via USB, I found a guide online to manually create the boot partition (with the installation files) on the disk it is installing to (neosmart.net, I can link the specific guide if necessary). This solution worked for me and Windows is now installed and working.

However, after booting up, my machine gives me the option to load Windows 7 or load Windows setup.

I've removed all of the files associated with the setup (that I know of.)

For reference, there is only 2 partitions on the drive (the system reserved partition and the main/active partition, where I moved the contents of the install USB to and mounted it from.)

I'm just looking to get rid of the traces of the Win7 installer or, at the very least, keep the machine from prompting me if I want to choose between the two. Not a super huge deal, just an annoyance!

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Why did you copy the setup files to the hard drive? That is what is going on there, it's just booting off that setup that you created.

Boot off the USB, format the hard drive, run the setup normally of the USB files. Make sure you remove the USB drive after so system does not try to boot from it.

If you are just getting a prompt about what to boot into and the Windows setup is working properly, you can just edit the boot options http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2282-default-operating-system-change-default-boot-os.html
