That's a pretty 'expensive' method to fix a small problem. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

1. Apparently you did not clean the disk before you reinstalled. If you have an independent 100MB active system partition, a reinstall would not fix that. it will just add a new BCD entry into that bootmgr.
2. Do the EasyBCD steps. There may be one little problem in Step 3. Because of your reinstall, you may have 2 Windows7 BCDs in the bootmgr. Make sure you delete the old one. Steps 4 and 5 should be easy though.
PS: You are too fast for me - LOL. EasyBCD has done the job. You can uninstall it. But I would keep it. May come in handy at another time. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 Linux coming up in boot menu even though I have deleted it from system problems?
