After clean Win7 install forced to use boot manager rather than SSD
Hi all,
I'm a computer novice and recently had a boot issue (wouldn't boot, just go to black screen) after the 12/9 windows update. After trying a number of possible solutions, I eventually had to transfer my data to an external hd and do a clean install of Windows 7 on my SSD. Now the only way I'm able to boot is by hitting F8 and selecting boot manager rather than allowing it to boot from my BIOS settings which I've tried setting as multiple combinations - none of which seemed to work. My SSD is what I have windows installed on and would like to be first to boot from. If I let it boot with any of the BIOS settings I've tried, it just brings me to a black screen. Before the update I had Windows booting from my SSD drive and had never even had the boot manager as an option in BIOS or F8 screens.
What I'm wondering is how to have it boot properly from my SSD each time without having to hit F8 and run through boot manager. Does anything look fishy in my disk management snip?
