Ok I kind of have a mess of a computer right now haha. I have 3 hard drives and they all have operating systems on them. The two smaller ones have Windows Vista and the biggest one has Windows 7. I am given the opportunity to choose which OS to boot during start up. I would like to make the the Windows 7 hard drive my default one to boot up. I read some other topics and made it 'active' in the 'Disk Management' and then switched the boot order in my bios but it says "BOOTMRG is missing" and tells me to restart.

I will attach a picture of my Disk Management.

Thanks guys!
