Removing Debian Installation Prompt

I attempted to install Debian through a CD, with the initial .exe working fine. However, when I rebooted and went through the installation procedure, my system could not tell that there was a disk there (or the media was unreadable). Now whenever I boot up my computer, I get the choice between continuing on to windows or to complete my installation. How do I remove that choice? Do I have to go through BIOS or are the files on my Windows partition?

What initial .exe? AFAIK Debian doesn't supply Windows executables, and I don't see it listed on their downloads page (although I'll admit I only skimmed it). Where did you get it?

Although, via msconfig I couldn't find the "continue with the installation" partition in my disk as a start up thread, nor with disk management, the solution is really simple:
- Open command prompt:
cmd - Type
bcdedit(as Marcos suggested) - You will find the booting partitions (this term doesn't really exist)
- Spot the partition that says "Continue with installation" as a description
- Copy its
identifier(yeah, that long number) - Finally, type
bcdedit /delete identifier, where in the place of identifier you have to put the identifier you selected. (Make sure to keep the identifier between braces..).
This worked for me in Windows 7 so I guess it can do the job in most of the systems.

Looks like Debian puts an entry into the Windows Boot Manager for itself and it's partitions. You will need to edit the Windows Boot Configuration Store to remove the incomplete Debian entry. You should be able to edit the Store via msconfig (GUI) or bcdedit (Command line).

Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?
