Default Problem with Booting Vista

Ok so heres my situation:
Built this computer about 1-2 years ago. Got a 500gb sata drive. Partitioned it into two sectors: 350GB for my Windows 32bit install, and a 150ish for Windows 64 bit install (just in case...). Fast forward 2 years and I one day get tired of having to wait 30 secs for windows to choose default partition to boot from the Boot Manager. So I go into msconfig and delete the 150gb 64bit install (not formatting, just the option to boot). Now, I have to cold boot every time I want to get past this **** blinking underscore thing "_" or else it will stay like that for eternity. What do i do O_o?

thanks fellas,

-Warren.

Repair the bootloader. Boot off of the Vista DVD and choose to repair your startup.
