Default How to restore computer to state before Windows 7 Dual Boot

As a trial, I installed Windows 7 on a second hard drive in the
removable system tray, and when it installed itself, it created what
appears to be a WINDOWS BOOT MANAGER. Essentially, it allows you to
select Windows 7 (default) or the OLD WINDOWS SYSTEM (XP).

How can I remove this boot manager so that the computer boots to XP
PRO as it did before the Windows 7 install.

I tried changing BOOT.BAK to BOOT.INI in the root directory, but that
did not do the job. I see there is a BOOTMGR system file, but how do
I disable the call to this boot manager.

Any suggestions/help appreciated.

(I did not like Windows 7 Ultimate, switched back to XP).


Jim
