Am I screwed?
Hi
I think I may have just f****ed up big-time but I'll let you Win7 gurus decide...short story: I had a setup with Vista as my OS on the main disk but was dual-booting to a second disk with Win7 Home Premium on it.
After spending a fair bit of time tweaking and tuning that Win7 Home Premium version I decided to purchase a copy of Win7Ultimate and install it to my main disk (the one with Vista) and dual boot that setup with Windows 7 Ultimate as the default boot and my nicely tweaked version of Windows Home Premium as an alternate boot. I had planned to slowly grab all my goodies and files off of the Windows Home Premium disk at my leisure and gradually get Ultimate just the way I wanted it and then delete the 7 HomePremium version (and give it to my daughter), thus freeing up my second disk for data storage.
You've probably guessed already; I did a clean install of Ultimate over the Vista OS (formatting that disk, of course), and apparently did something wrong; now my default and only boot choice is the one for Ultimate -- even though the second disk that has Windows Home Premium is there intact, I can't for the life of me figure out how to boot to it also...? The bootpath now in msconfig reads: Windows 7 (C:\Windows) : Current OS; Default OS
Here's a link to the screen in disk management, if that would help:

Please Help if you can!
