I have 3. But i dont think I have an old os laying around.
It's so strange.
Could I install a new windows on one of the other drivers and then just move my old stuff to the new?
I can reinstall, no problem with that. Its just that I dont want to lose any data.
I also have rhe home premium install disk if that helps.
No, I mean how many are currently in your system that you flashed the BIOS update on? Please fill out your specs for us with this tool. System Info - See Your System Specs
Thank you man! It works now! I had as you said, another windows installed on another disk, so it started that one instead. I just had to change back to start the other one instead.
Yeah it sounded like that was what was going on. :) Make sure you mark your thread as solved.
Just as a side note; The BIOS can have a password as well as Windows but they are mutually exclusive. The BIOS is executed before Windows even starts loading. Reflashing the BIOS has no affect on a Windows password or vice-versa for that matter.
Also, check your Disk Manager. I suspect the old/other OS drive is marked "Active". The ONLY Active drive/partition should be the one that contains your current OS. Even if you delete the files, the drive may still contain a System Reserved partition marked Active. This can slow Windows boot, boot the wrong OS or error-out depending on whether the boot segment is present.
