I have Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. After swapping out my main hard drive temporarily to install Ubuntu on a separate hard drive, I ran into some strange errors once I plugged my main hard drive back in.
For context, I have a tri-monitor setup that has worked just fine since I first set it up. However, after the aforementioned swap, my display settings got all messed up. When I booted into my main hard drive, the resolution was all messed up and only one monitor was showing any display.
My question is what could have caused this? Intuitively, I would assume display settings are stored with the OS on the hard drive, so removing the hard drive and restoring it should not do anything. Is it possible that when I booted into Ubuntu that it changed BIOS configuration in a way that confused Windows?
This problem has been solved. I'm just curious to know what caused it in the first place.
