Solved HELP: Windows 7 issue!
Hi fellows,
I bought a new SSD and loaded Windows 7 Home Premium x64. All of my software and drivers are loaded and the computer works fine except for one issue.
When I start the computer it eventually goes to a page and asks me what program I want to launch. The choice is as follows:
Windows 7
Windows 7
If I click on the first Windows 7 it loads up normally. If I click on the second Windows 7 it asks me to put in the Windows 7 disk, etc.
So how do I get rid of this second Windows 7, so the computer will automatically recognize the correct Windows 7 and start up automatically like it should?
Thank you,
