HI folks
Bit of an odd question to ask I suspect, so please excuse my lack of knowledge in this field compared to some.
I started with PCs when they first came out and was able to programme and edit and change boot files etc. But now I find I have been left way behind and more importantly, with a false sense of knowing what I am doing, stuck.
I have been running Vista for a long time on one of two hard drives in my machine. I then loaded Windows 7 on to a partition of the second hard drive thinking I could duck in to BIOS (or F8 whichever took my fancy) and just change the boot disk whenever I wanted to change from Vista to Windows 7.
Unfortunately, as many of you may also have found, the machine loads to a boot screen with Vista and Windows 7 as options, defaulting to Windows 7 and launching after 30 sec. This is regardless of what HDD I have as primary in BIOS.
Is there any way of getting rid of this BOOT process, preferably so that the BIOS adjustment is all I need? This will also help should I want to completely unistall Windows 7 since it will not clear itself from the BOOT file should I elect to format the drive. (I have not tried editting the BOOT file in Vista since I have not looked for it since I suspect I will have little clue what to do with todays BOOT files).
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.
