ok, so I was running a dual boot of Vista and XP before on 2 different hard drives before.
I deleted the XP partition and installed Windows 7 on that one. Everything has been running fine then I wanted to boot back up into Vista but no option comes up and when I try to boot up from that harddrive manually, nothing happens. It just says insert CD to boot.
I tried to do a repair from teh Vista disk but it doesn't find anything. That harddrive is still there will all the data and is recognized in the bios and everywhere.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: another thing, the old harddrive that I deleted had 2 partitions, one XP, and 1 Vista. So I actually had 3 OS at time, 1 XP and 2 Vista's on 2 harddrives(second was partitioned). I deleted both partitions and installed Windows 7 on that one.
Could getting rid of that old Vista have something to do with this?
