Solved Dual boot only shows Windows 7

[gallicbear]

Hi there. Here is my situation. I have been dual-booting with Mandriva for a week or so. The GRUB works fine and gives me a nice bluish screen with the 3 boot options (Windows 7, Mandriva, Mandriva safe). I get into each OS as expected. However, the puzzling thing is, when I go into Startup and Recovery and look at the boot manager, it only shows Windows 7 and the winloader, instead of two entries. Is there any explanation to that? Regards.

... when I go into Startup and Recovery and look at the boot manager ...

In wich startup and recovery you go?
startup and recovery of Windows 7 loader or
startup and recovery of GRUB loader?

In case you're going into startup and recovery of Win7 loader then this as it supposed to be,
because windows won't recognize anything related to linux, or non-NTFS/fat stuff.

Hi,

Startup & Recovery is a Windows-based environement, so it will not read the GRUB bootloader of Linux.

Thanks for your answers. That kinda answers my question. I see that in right click 'mycomputer'->system properties->advanced->Startup and Recovery.
Didn't realize there was also a way to see that elsewhere.

No worries
