Oh sorry bout that Mr Grim I did install all the drivers for my MB...
If you have a dual boot with Vista you don't get the hidden 200mb boot partition, you only get that if that is your first OS you installed. In disk manager do you have two partitions one for Windows 7 and one for Vista? and both have letters assigned to them and you can access you Vista partition in explorer?
Now I just have win 7 as my OS when I reinstalled win 7 took out vista was hoping it might solve the problem but its still there..
So you formatted the HDD before you installed, in which case you should now have the extra 200mb partition that windows creates when installing.
OK you are right, there wont be one because you have already partitioned the hard drive, you only have it if it's a clean install on a HDD with no partitions and no other OS's installed.
