Strange Booting predicament, 2 drives 3 OS(s)
This is a complicated one. When I built my PC in 2011, I was really into tech and an PC fanatic. So, being my idiotic self, I installed both Windows 8 Consumer Preview and Ubuntu, although I do not remember which came first. I have Windows 7 on my SSD, 8 on a partition on my HDD, and I don't know where Ubuntu is (help finding that would be much appriciated if possible too). I do remember that when I was using the 8 Consumer Preview (CP), I eventually got a BSOD, even when booting to the SSD that 7 is on. I don't remember how I got around the issue, but eventually I solved it. Up until recently, when I booted I saw the GRUB screen, then a Windows 7 boot screen promting me to windows 7. However, I wanted a new GPU to run Battlefront and Fallout 4, so I picked up a PowerColor R9 390. The card would not output video past the BIOS screen due to a bug with the DP67BG motherboard I have, but I eventually googled enough to find that windows does boot, and I just need to remotly install the drivers then I will be good. I determined I needed to get Windows 7 to boot by default, not the GRUB screen since I cannot see it with the new card. However, when using the system repair disk to detect my installation, it said it needed to make a change, so I let it. Now, when I boot to my SSD, the Windows 8 preview tries to load, then crashes. However, when I boot to my HDD, the GRUB screen appears. I just want to get back to being able to boot straight to windows 7, with no input needed. I've spent three days on this issue, and I still can't wrap my mind around it enough. Any tips, help, or just plain any advice would do wonders for me.
