• Uninstalling Windows 7 from Dual Boot
    4 replies, posted
Not to sure how to google this problem, But I've created a situation. In an attempt to install windows 7 onto a spare hard-drive, the install disc wouldn't run up. AS I already have windows on my main hard-drive I ran that up to install windows through windows, After selecting to install onto the other hard-drive, thinking all is dandy, It now needs my hard-drive to start up. When the computer starts up it comes up with "would you like to start windows 7 or windows 7" Formatting the second harddrive again wouldn't work as the boot menu thing is on the first harddrive. I'm asking how to un-install it from the first hard-drive and make the boot manager go away.
Format both drives, and start over. Just back-up anything important first.
[QUOTE=Pixel Heart;19250557]Format both drives, and start over. Just back-up anything important first.[/QUOTE] I recommend this, however i think you can change the bootfile but I can't remember how.
type msconfig in the start menu, go to boot tab. You should be able to delete one of the OS entries
