MANEMAN Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hi there, welcome.For reasons unknown (Dont ya just love computers and their users. ) you will have to edit the Windows 7 Boot Manager.To do this you will have either to use BCDEdit (Boot Configuration Data Editor) within Windows 7 (Reasonably high level of difficulty)Or you can use 3rd party software called EasyBCD. So called because of a ( Very low level of difficulty)If you are not used to working from the Command Prompt do not use the first method. Go instead for **EasyBCD**I have used EasyBCD for dual booting. It has a nice GUI, is self explanatory, and you have less chance of losing the ability to boot into your Windows 7 OS.Create a system rescue disk before you start any editing just as a safety net. **Instructions Here**John.
