    Edit the bootloader, you should be able to do that in Xandros.

    I don't understand what/how windows files got left behind ???

    I know I chose to write over windows and not to have them coexist.Even if I choose to boot to Vista it just hangs on the start progress screen.

    Can't delete the entry via the control center FG,there is no editing of command lines like other linux's,or am I missing something?

    The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

    When you start the installation process, there is a step that allows you to co-exist with Windows or other OS, and it allows you to pick the partition that it occupies. There is also a choice to delete existing OS and reformat the drive before installation.

    Since you apparently wanted to reformat, I would reinstall. It only takes about 20 minutes and you should have a much more stable setup. If you want to try to correct bootloader first, do the following:
    - choose Launch>Control Center>System Administration>Boot Manager.
    - You will now click on the Administrator button and login as Administrator.
    - Now you can choose the Default OS.
