    Hi, welcome to the forums :)

    If you click Windows 7 boot loader not appearing-windows-7-start-button-changer-03-100x100-32x32.png then type msconfig and press enter, click the 'Boot' tab and see if the other OS is showing up.

    Did you perform a straight install over the top of the existing Windows 7?

    Install EasyBCD 2.0 and add the other OS on Add OS tab.

    If you have any further problems, please post back a screenshot of your full DIsk Mgmt drive map and listings, using SNipping Tool in Start Menu.
