Dual boot Windows 7 with Windows 7
I have two installations of Windows 7 (same install disk and same key) on two separate hard drives, and would like two have the option to boot to either one. I can boot to either drive just fine when either one is the only drive connected to the motherboard. But when both are connected it just boots straight to one of them without giving me the option to choose.
When I view the Operating Systems listed under (Right click My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Startup and Recovery -> Settings -> System Startup) only one install of Windows 7 is listed.
This type of install may seem odd. The reason I want to do this is so that I can have my own hard drive and my son can have his own. I'd rather not have all of his "junk" on my drive.
I have this exact setup with Windows XP on another computer and it works perfectly. It lists two operating systems in the System Startup menu.
Does anyone know how to make it work with Windows 7?
