The easiest way to remove an entry in the Windows 7 Boot Configuration is to use msconfig. 

To launch msconfig:

1.  Click Start

2.  In the Search text box, type msconfig

3.  Launch msconfig by selecting it from the search results above the search text box.

After msconfig is launched:

1.  Go to the Boot tab

2.  Select the boot entry you want to delete.

3.  Click the Delete button and then click OK.

Make sure to be logged in to the Windows 7 partition you want to keep when performing these steps so you don't delete the good installation by mistake.

    The "Answer" doesn't work, it only appears to work.  What happens is that you are put into selective mode with the "Deleted" boot option temporarily removed.  If you reboot and select 'Normal' startup, the option comes back.

    BCDEdit is the only way I could permanently remove the other options.
