I had XP on one partition that I split to make room for Windows 7. Rebooted, picked to boot from DVD (via ESC boot menu, not bios setting) and Windows 7 started to install fine. On first reboot though XP loaded up with no options to choose the OS.
I tried to boot from DVD again but it just restarts the installation again instead of continuing. To get it to continue I had to hit ESC to get my boot menu, pick my primary HD (same one with my XP partition). Then I get the option to choose Windows 7 or Older version of Windows (haven't tried this but presume it'll load XP).
So I can dual boot but if I don't manually pick my HD from my boot menu XP loads up without any prompts.
I plan to wipe my XP partition and reinstall Win7 anyways but want to figure out why my boot setup is so messed up. Any ideas?
