I have dual system, Win 7 and recently what i thought was a complete installation of win 10 via Media tool.Each OS on separate hard drives. Both were initiated via my BCD utility. When I was doing the installation of win 10, it arrived at the point where it warns the user that it was going to turn off the pc and reboot. That was the prob[em...after it turned off, it never rebooted, and in this situation I was able to hear the audible part of the woman instructing the user by welcoming me to win 10 and to continue listen to her or turn her off. I never got the 'video' part of win 10, and in this process, my BCD is screwed up and now the only way i can view win 7 is by using my Bios F8 button and still don't know if i actually have Win 10. I just don't know what next step to take.

Can you post a screenshot from disk manager showing all the details at the top so we can see. If you install 10 with more than one drive it often puts boot files on the wrong drive

I assume drive c in the screen shot id win 7 its booting from the first parition shown as g. Win 10 is a uefi partion is the bios set to boot uefi?
Just pull the power off disk 0 and see if it boots win 10 ok.
Can you in the bios decide which disk to boot from?

It looks like your win7 installation on disk0 is bios mode and your win10 installation on disk1 is efi mode.

Probably the simplest way to select which you want to boot into is by pressing the one time boot menu key at post.

It is f12 on my motherboard, it might be different on yours.

Likely F8 according to the link below.

Correct C is win 7 and D is win 10. My MB uses F8 and I have to use it daily now to use Win 7. When I pull the power off ( win 7 ) and choose win 10 all I get is the audio of the 'woman's voice congradulating of installing win 10....Never am able to see system as normal viewing...desktop and etc. BTW, on a whim, i replaced my BCD utility with a later version and still no progress on that score. What puzzles me is hearing that virgin woman voice that is common after opening win 10 for the first time, but only her voice and no view of system...akin to Videos that have only the audio. I also tried again in installing win 10 with the same results. It was recommended that when i arrive at the moment when windows informs me that it is going to reboot, that i should remove the usb tool. I did and still windows did not continue or what ever its suppose to do after the rebooting.

I t may be too late for that....I installed a new version of BCD and still have tthe same problem, thinking it might fix the problem...but still i don't know why I only have the audio of win 10.
