    Installed Win 7 64 bit on partition 0 but now last Win 7 32bit on P1


    Hi,

    Installed Win 7 64 bit on partition 0 but now last Win 7 32bit on Partition 1.

    This is a 2 Disk Sata drive PC, Partition 0 is on one disk and Partition 2 on the other.

    How do I get back to being able to boot both systems, and the moment I can only get to the fresh install of win 7 63 bit I just installed.

    Thanks,

    Tinkerz.

    Did you delete the Windows 7 x32 boot files on Partition 0?

    Can you post a screen shot of Disk management?
