MBR Question
I have a question I was hoping someone could answer.
I bought an adapter that would allow one of my Hard Drives to be accessed via USB. I bought one and it works great, but I decided to install Windows 7 Ultimate build 7068 and my computer said that it could not install a fresh copy of Win 7 unto a USB device.
Okay, if that was the problem I decided to remove my CD RW drive and connect the hard drive instead. I then connected the CD-RW drive to the USB adapter and it worked perfectly. I was able to use the CD drive to install onto the hard drive.
I then decided that I didnt want to have my computer looking like a disassembled piece of junk, so I thought, "Hey, why not reconnect everything how it was, and just boot up Windows 7 from USB".
I put the computer back together nicely, but upon boot options it gave me 2 options:
Vista/Longhorn
Windows 7
So I chose Windows 7 only to have the computer reboot. Am I doing something wrong? Did I mess up the Main Boot Record since Windows 7 was installed from IDE instead of being connected from USB?
Is there a way to get my computer to allow me to boot up without the restart?
Let me know if anyone has any ideas or needs any more relevant information.
