No second listing in the boot tab. I did go and do the second thing and unchecked the boot timer. Hope it works.
Well this worked sorta. Only have done one restart at the moment, and that got me to a frozen screen for the MB manufacturer. I went into the BIOS to check things out, and for some reason it did not list my 7 HDD at all! Weird.
So I exited out of that, got the messages about the boot record being missing or damaged or something like that asking me to hit any key to continue. I'm starting to freak a little at this point. But as I was reaching for my 7 disc to insert it to try and repair, Win7 starts booting up!
I still think something needs to be fixed.
You are getting an XP entry in the boot menu when you startup?
Might be you added it with Easy - you only needed to do that if you were going to keep XP a bit longer and wanted to be able keep booting into it.
Have a look with Easybcd and Remove the entry that contains ntldr.
It was not an XP entry in the boot menu, or even the "earlier version of Windows" blurb, rather the option just said Microsoft Windows. I did try it once and it came up with the boot error(why do those fly by so fast you can't write them down?).
I will try easybcd and see if I can remove the entry, I just want to try and get a few things done first while the PC is up. TYVM to both of you, I will report back later.
Is this where I delete the Micrsoft Windows?
