Hi there, welcome.

For reasons unknown (Dont ya just love computers and their users. :unsure: ) 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**
