Windows 7 Boot Menu

Nov 11, 2012

I had installed Mint Linus as a dual boot through ML to try. After carefully removing it per instructions, when I boot I get the Windows Boot Manager, which I never had and don't need as I only have Win 7. How do I get rid of it (extra boot time).

Whenever Boot Up Computer It Shows Advent Logo-screen / Where Can Access Boot Menu

May 7, 2012

I am running an Advent desktop PC and its stats are as follows; Intel Core i5-2310 CPU @ 2.90GHz 8GB RAM Win 7 64 bit.The problem I am having is when ever i boot up the computer it shows the Advent logo-screen where I can access the boot menu etc but then it goes to a black screen with a cursor/underscore flashing in the top left... This screen stays for quite a while and I am not sure if it stops because of a key I have pressed or just because it has run its course but after it disappears the computer goes back to the logo-screen for a moment and proceeds to boot up as normal except slightly slower than usual.It is a relatively new computer and it has no problems running at all once the boot up is complete it is fast and as friendly as ever.

Boot Menu Doesn't Show Up - XP And Win7 Dual Boot

Oct 30, 2009

I have XP (x86) installed on one partition.

Last night I installed Windows 7 (x64) on a separate partition.

Anytime I had tried this in the past, using Vista, it always detected the Windows XP partition, and gave me a boot menu with "Earlier Version of Windows" option to boot to.

This is not so with Windows 7.

How can I get the boot menu to show both options, to boot to XP or to Windows 7?

No Boot Menu For Windows 7?

Apr 29, 2011

I have Windows 7 and XP installed on separate partitions of one drive. I also had a 2nd hard drive, for backing up data, which I think has died so I disconnected it. This machine used to automatically boot into Windows 7, but now it goes to XP. There was nothing installed onto the 2nd drive so I have no idea why disconnecting that would change anything. I've checked, and the Windows 7 files are still available on the working hard drive.Previously, if I wanted to boot into XP instead of 7, I would go into the BIOS and change the boot order of the 2 hard drives, and then it would automatically boot into the other OS.One other thing I remember, is that when I had the Windows 7 loaded up, it showed the Windows 7 partition as being the C drive. When I have XP turned on, it shows the Windows 7 partition as being D drive and XP as being in the C drive.

Windows 7 Boot Menu?

Aug 30, 2011

I recently installed Windows 7 from a USB drive (16GB) instead of the disc. One of the issues I've encountered after was that in my Win7 boot up, I'm taken to the boot selection menu, which is usually reserved for multi-booting, or crash recovery.The options shown are...- Windows 7 Ultimate- Windows EMS Setupand towards the bottom of the screen some type of diagnostic option. I can't remember off the top of my head.Is there any way I can remove the setup option from this menu? I would like to boot straight into Windows without timing out, or having to select it manually.

How To Remove Windows 7 Boot Menu

Sep 27, 2012

I have Windows XP and Ubuntu Wubi on my PC, and Windows 7 on top of that. Windows Xp is installed on C: and 7 is on another drive. I have formatted the drive on which 7 was installed. But I still get the 7 boot menu at boot. Then after selecting "Earlier version of windows", I get the XP boot menu. I want to remove the 7 boot menu. I think the 7 MBR is installed on C:, so it is not removed.

Wrong Boot Options In Boot Menu

May 6, 2012

I got this new computer and at some point I went into the boot option to try and install my PC to it's factory settings but when I opened up the boot option it showed something like this but not exactly:

1. MC43689SGDAL7
2. MATSHITADVD-RAM

This is very random and unusual and I have found no fix and as you should know it should look something like this:

1. CD/DVD Drive
2. USB
3. Hard Drive
4. something else

Even in my Bios menu it shows the same thing and I cannot change it so I can't boot from a USB or CD, etc.

Access My Advanced Boot Menu To Start Windows Normally?

Jun 9, 2011

Everytime I restart the computer it boots into a repair mode,attempts to repair my computer, and then tells me "startup repair cannot repair this computer automatically". Why it's doing this I don't know,the system was working fine an hour ago.The only change I made was to attempt to make my RAID work, I rebooted, entered BIOS and changed my "Sata Operation Mode" to "RAID",then the problems started happening. I tried turning it back, even resetting BIOS defaults, but no go. During the boot up though I turned my comp off during the middle of windows loading, I wonder if that could have caused the problem?I know it's not recommended but it's something I've always done and never had a problem with.I've been trying to access my Advanced boot menu to start windows normally(perhaps it's stuck in some kind of repair cycle?) but pressing f8 does nothing, I've tried a thousand times.

I put in my Windows 7 disk and attempted a repair through there which halfway worked. When I boot up now it gives me two OS options to choose from, Windows and Windows 7 Home Premium (Recovered).The latter one boots up windows fine but all of my files are gone and it's telling me my copy of windows is not genuine! I had the majority of my data so it's not a huge deal to do a clean install but I would like to avoid that if possible.I'm using an asrock 890fx mobo with AMD processor.

Lost Dual Boot Menu To Select Windows 7

Mar 11, 2009

I have messed up my dual boot of XP Pro and Seven

Seven was working well, but XP was playing up.

I did a restore from an earlier acronis image of XP.

XP now works again, but as you have guessed I have lost the dual boot menu to select Windows 7 when I bootup.

I know boot.ini does not apply with Seven.

Please tell me how to get my neatly tweaked Seven back on the boot menu,

Bootmenupolicy=standard For Windows 7 Hides Multi Boot Menu?

Aug 27, 2012

I have defined BootMenuPolicy for Windows 7 loader as standard(1) in a multi boot system with Windows 8 and Windows 7 (and other OSs) and set Windows 7 as default loader. System boots directly to Windows 7 - no boot menu is displayed.So what is prohibiting boot manager to display boot menu ?(If bootmenupolicy for Win 7 is set to legacy(0) boot menu is displayed.)

bcdedit output:

Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier {bootmgr}
device partition=D:
description Windows Boot Manager

Edit / Rename Boot Menu Entries And Hide Other Windows 7 Partitions?

Sep 20, 2010

On my computer I have 3 primary partitions:

1. "System reserve" which contains e.g.the Bootmamanger and MBR
2. First Win 7 installation ("main")
3. Second Win 7 installation ("reserve")

When I boot now at first the Bootmanager on the first primary partition is called/started which in turn starts the boot menu. In the boot menu there are currently two entries:

Windows 7
Windows 7

So I cannot distinguish between the "main" and the "reserve" Win 7 installation. How exactly can I modify/rename the two "Windows 7" entries in boot menu? After selecting and booting the actual Windows 7 installation the other Windows 7 installation is visible as a separate partition in WinExplorer:

C: Running Windows 7
D: DVD drive
E: Other (non-booted) Windows 7

How can I automatically hide the other Windows 7 installation? The drive E: should be available e.g. for USB sticks or network drives.

CD Won't Boot From Boot Device Menu

May 4, 2012

I am doing an upgrade from XP to Windows 7. I have done this numerous times with no problems until today. I put in the disc for the upgrade and loaded the Boot Device Menu (F12). Then I selected Onboard or USB CD-ROM Drive and I can hear the CD spinning but it does nothing. It wont load and the 'Onboard or USB CD-ROM Drive' option stays highlighted. I just installed XP doing this exact same method because I installed a new harddrive and I had no problems. It only occurred once I put in the W7 disc.

Is It Normal For Windows 7 Home Premium To Have Multiple Boot Options At The F8 Safe Mode Menu?

Jul 5, 2012

Is it normal for Windows 7 Home Premium to have multiple boot options at the F8 safe mode menu? (I.e. "Enable boot Logging" "Dosable unsigned drivers" etc etc). I thought there were only three boot options: Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, and Safe Mode with command line..... It seems my safe mode prompt has those three plus all the others.

Can't Boot From Any Disk Or Menu

Aug 30, 2012

I have an eMachines E528 with an Intel Celeron 900 processor. I got the blue screen of death and was able to use the Windows system repair disk to reinstall windows 7. However, while trying to "update" Windows 7 with the SP1 update through the windows update tool, I got the blue screen of death again. This time I cannot boot the computer. I've tried a recovery disk, a system repair disk, a new clean copy of windows 7, and a Partition Wizard bootable CD. Everytime it gets to the point of loading ANY menu, it freezes up and does nothing for hours. I have spent so much time researching and trying things from other forums, and I have gotten nowhere. get a fresh copy of windows on this computer? or get me into the menu that allows me to restore from a system repair disk? I have even tried an "eRecovery" without even going into Windows by pressing ALT F10 at the logo screen as the computer is booting up, and I still get hung up while the application is trying to load the menu options.

How To Configure The Dual Boot Menu

Jun 29, 2012

In the previous O/Ss, you were able to configure the boot menu options in dual boot scenario's by editing the 'boot.ini' this however, is not the case in Windows 7 and past 2000 O/s.

This is because i have an operating systen showing up in my menu that does not exist anymore and i dont want to wipe the O/S (Windows 7) to remove it as i have other O/S that are working fine.
