2nd Win7 install, now Vista loading screen after remove
Hi All,
Some might remember I posted a few days ago about installing Win7 (64bit) separately on this same comp (different hard drive) to test what drivers worked for the devices I had, in particular the Canon scanner.
Anyway it worked, and I booted into Win7 64b fine - but I had a few issues getting back into 32-bit one (64bit one became the active boot... even after i used diskpart and bcdedit etc.
Anyway, I got the 32-bit install to again load as the default (and deleted the 64-bit partition)... BUT, I keep getting the Vista booting screen - i.e. the small green loading bar instead of the elaborate "Starting Windows'. I then put in the Win7 dvd in and went to repair the install (to try & get the Win7 boot screen back), but it wouldnt even find the OS install to repair it.
So basically, its back to the 32bit win7 install fine - but with the older Vista loading screen. Any ideas? thanks heaps!
