    Reinstalled Windows 7 64 bit after Partitioning HD


    I reinstalled windows 7 64 bit into a different partition and formatted original drive that windows was in. The install went fine and I am able to use the computer without issue. However, now after the BIOS screen it goes to a black & white screen where it asks which OS I want to use. There are 2 choices of windows 7 and another choice at the bottom of the screen to run memory diagnostic test.

    How do I eliminate this screen of 2 choices of Windows 7 and just have it load automatically after BIOS?

    Go into Control Panel -> System -> Startup and Recovery. Set Windows 7 as default and uncheck the box for the boot menu.

    Or type msconfig in the Start Menu search box and hit enter. Go to the boot tab and delete the errant entry.

    If you reinstalled and still have the entry, you might want to be aware the boot files are probably still in the old Win 7 partition so don't just delete it. If you want us to check, attach a snipping tool picture of your disk management window.

    Saltgrass's way is quicker. If you rewrite the MBR using the fixmbr command (cannot be booted into Windows when you do it), it should rewrite your MBR and remove the entry. More than likely it's just a boot option.

    Thanks everyone for your awesome help. I used msconfig and deleted the extra Windows 7 entry. Worked like a charm. Thanks
