I installed windows 7 on a partition of my raid 1 configuration hard drive, but the boot manager only shows up when there is either the windows vista installation disc or the windows 7 intallation disc in the drive. I tried repairing using both installation discs but nothing seems to work. At the moment it automaticly boots in vista. Please help, thanks.

Download EasyBCD, scroll down here http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 and get the instructions here http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EB... If you go to the Add/Remove Entries Tab, you should be able to select the systems you want/have, but read the instructions first.

thanks ill give that a try

I installed easybcd on vista, and i added windows 7 to the list, and when i restarted the two options came up. However when i tried to boot win 7 i got this error message:- File:\windows\System\Winload.exe Status:0xc0000428 Info:Windows Cannot verify the digital signature for this file So i went into vista and removed windows 7 from the list, then used the install dvd to get into win 7 and install easybcd, both vista and win7 were already on the list and i checked the drive letters were corrrect, but i still got the same error message when trying to get back into win 7 after restart without the install disc. Any ideas ?
