Boot Screens - Vista Bar
I have installed 7 on my desktop. When i boot i get that new funky glowing logo. which is nice.
Now, when i install it on my acer one netbook i get the old drab vista bar.
Now would i be right in assuming that its something to do with the graphics card on the machines? If not can anyone point me in the right direction. Its not a problem to me im just curious as to why its done that.

Boot Screen Reverts To The Old Vista Style Green Bar
I, too am missing the WIndows 7 "Starting Windows" Orb boot screen. My system has reverted to the old vista style green bar. I have tried the bcdedit command multiple times, but to no avail. My Monitor is a 27" LCDHD connected using component cables. I've also tried DVI, but that didn't change anything. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can correct this?

Boot Screen Reverted To Low Resolution Green Bar
 I resized a couple of my partitions, so I had to rebuild my BCD. No problems there. However, when I log into Win 7 now, the animated high resolution boot screen reverted to the low res green bar with Microsoft Corp underneath. I am stumped as to how to reenable the high res boot screen. - first rebuilt the BCD entirely using the DVD: no joy - used bootrec /fixmbr and bootrec /fixboot from DVD: no effect - The NoGui flag in msconfig is not set (toggled it, when ticked there is no gui :P, unticking it again yielded the low res screen again)  Anyone here have more ideas on this?

Several Blue Screens, Right After Boot Or Logon
Since I've installed Windows 7 on my PC I've been getting several bluescreens with different messages on boot or right after logon. I've been trying to find solutions to them on the web, but I can't find solutions that seem to be related to my problem(s). Below is an excerpt from WinDbg, I can provide them in full if there might be anything more that is relevant in them, but I don't want to flood this forum unnecessarily. Is there somebody on here that might be able to point me in the right direction to finding solutions to my problem(s)?

Removing Vista From Dual Boot - Vista On C: And Win7 On D:
I installed Windows7 as a dual boot on a Vista computer. Windows7 is the default operating system because it is listed first in the boot menu & launches automatically after 30 seconds. I realized that everything in Windows 7 is installing under D:etc. When I remove Vista & revert to one larger partition what will happen to all the installed programs that have a path to D:? Won't the one drive become C:|? When installing Windows 7, I deliberately created a partition at the front of the drive & moved Vista to the 2nd partition assuming that whichever OS I booted into, it would use C: as the letter for their individual partition.

After the installation i have my boot menu with: Windows 7 Windows Vista Windows vista still works but when i try and load windows 7 i get a boot error message: FILE windowssystem32winload.exe Status: 0xc0000428 info: windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling a number of times, trying the 32 and 64 bit version, and setting the partition to active... with zero results. Ive been googling my problem for days and haven't found a single thing that has been useful. Please help me out if you have heard of this problem happening or have any idea why it is happening.

Cannot Boot Win 7 RC From Vista Boot Manager
I had a dual boot system with XP Pro and Vista Ultimate 32bit everything was great. I decided to try the Windows 7 RC but I needed a new drive due to lack of space. My original drive is IDE, I bought a SATA drive and moved the OS's to the new drive. I wanted to keep the old drive in system for storage so I formatted it and changed BIOS boot priority. After fixing some minor issues with drive letter assignments due to the fact the bios reads the first and second IDE channels first then SATA. I was all ready to install Windows 7 RC on an unallocated 100gb section of my new drive. Note: that the old drive has a single partition formatted NTFS but is currently blank. And I did follow the "Golden Rule" of installing the oldest OS first when I set up the computer in the first place. The Install went fine. Now for the problem. Windows 7 did not add an entry into Vista's boot manager so no option to boot into Windows 7 without the install disk in the drive. I used EasyBCD 1.7.2 from within Vista to add an entry for Windows 7. But when initially added easyBCD assigns the drive partition a drive letter that I don't have. Therefore the entry does not show up on reboot. I changed the path to the correct drive and then the entry does show up on reboot. But when I select Windows 7 the boot manager refuses to load Windows 7 saying that "cannot verify the digital signature of the file winload.exe" I have tried wiping and re-installing the Windows 7 partition 3 times I've tried using the Windows 7 install disk to repair startup problems. None of these has worked I'm at a loss as to what is happening. If Windows 7 created a hidden partition for recovery and boot files I'm unable to find it, I thought of trying and Linux Live CD to look for the hidden partition but have not done it yet. My thought was to delete this hidden partition and wipe the Windows 7 partition and format it before re-installing either from within Vista or during the Windows 7 install process via a command prompt in an attempt to keep Windows 7 from creating this hidden partition. The problem is that I don't believe this will solve the problem due to the digital signature error reported by Vista's boot manager. Can anybody help me with this or at least bring a perspective that I may be over-looking?

Upgraded Vista Ultimate To Win7 Ultimate RTM Ok, But Boot Screen Is Still Vista's
I got my copy of Win & Ultimate and a legal key from TechNet, did an upgrade of my Vista Ultimate computer. All went well and other than my new copy of Norton Internet Security 2009 not working (long story for another thread). The problem I'm having is that the boot screen (Starting Windows with the 4 colored balls and the windows logo) did not change, I still have the old Vista one with the boring green progress bar. I never dual booted this system and I have tried the fixes out on the net - using an administrator command prompt to send: bcdedit /set {current} locale en-US or bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-US Neither one worked. This is not a fatal flaw, but it is annoying in an otherwise perfect upgrade. Is there a registry setting I can change or another fix to try for this? It used to be easy to change the boot screen in XP and not too hard in Vista, how do I get my correct boot screen back in Windows 7?

Dual Boot With Vista 64
I have a multi boot set-up on my machine currently. I am running 32 bit Vista, 64 bit Vista and XP serv pak2. I would like to add the beta of 7 to my boot list but am concerned about what will happen once beta 7 "dies" in August. Anyone know if there will be any issues with this? I am curious to try it but don't wnat to do so at the expense of all I already have done. Also wonder if all app.'s that are installed on Vista will be accessible through 7 without re-installing them. I have them on a seperate drive from the O.S.'s.

No Boot Files In Vista
I am dual booting Windows 7 64 and Vista and using EASYBCD in each operating system. I am able to Boot into either program with no problems. However When I start EasyBCD in Vista I get the Vista1 and Vista2 screenshots. The Vista3 is what My msconfig tab in the Vista operating system looks like. When In Windows 7 operating system and use EasyBCD I get the Windows 7 1 screenshot. My msconfig boot tab in Windows 7 looks like Windows 7 2. Let me add that I'm using a product called RollbackRx (ONLY) on the Win 7 operating system, both systems are on seperate harddrives. What do I have to do to get the boot files to be seen in the Vista msconfig boot tab, and the EasyBCD view settings window?

Bld7000 Has Vista Boot Screen
I have installed Windows 7 build 7000 in a couple of PCs , everything fine. I have installed it on a netbook (LG X110, its the same with MSI WIND U100), and upon boot, the boot screen is the old Vista animated boot screen, with the green bar loader at the bottom. No new Windows 7 boot screen. I guess it has to do with the screen size of LG X110 (10") which also causes screen detection issues in other OS's (e.g. Backtrack 3), but is there an option where I can FORCE the resolution/screen size so that it will show the correct boot screen?

Getting Rid Of Dual Boot Vista
Probably jumping the gun a little here :) . I currently run a dual boot Win7/Vista setup on my main PC. Currently on RC and since the Beta build I've only booted up Vista once; and although I used to like Vista, I couldn't wait to get back to Win7. So at this stage I'm already decided that Vista is going to go as soon as Win7 is available. So my question is what do I need to do to return my system to a single boot Win7 setup?

Dual Boot Vista And Win7 RC
After adding Win7 RC to my Vista laptop, it is periodically running ScanDisk every couple of bootups (whether I boot to Vista or Win7).Recently installed Win7 RC on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A135-S4478). System has two HDDs with Vista factory installed to Disk 0. I created a partition on Disk 1 and installed Win7 RC there. After installing Win7, I did not get a Bootup choice to be able to select which OS to boot. I could choose by selecting boot in BIOS. Solved this by using EasyBCD to create the boot choices. Never had any HDD probs before adding Win7.

Is Windows 7 Using Vista Files For Boot ?
I like many others have a dual boot with Vista and now want to delete it. I have read other threads about using "Startup and Recovery" to remove Windows Vista from the Splash screen and then Formatting that Vista partition. However I have also read something about Windows 7 using boot files from the Vista partition. How do I no if Windows 7 is doing this or not. I believe Windows 7 is the primary boot OS.

Can't Dual Boot Seven, Vista
I installed Seven Beta on a dedicated partition in my laptop so that now my hard disk has the following partitions: C=VistaOS default OEM Operating System D=Data for documents, pictures, etc. E=SevenOS Seven Beta This is when I read my HD from Vista, but from inside Seven the partitions are like that: C=SevenOS, D=Data, E=VistaOS My problem is that I CANNOT boot Seven as there is no dual boot menu showing at all during boot time. I downloaded BCDEdit and added a menu entry for Seven, but that did not work. Again, no dual boot menu showing at all. So here's my question: how can I set up a dual boot process using the standard tool of Vista, for BCDEdit didn't work and at this very moment I cannot boot Seven?

Removing Vista Boot Completely
I have multiple hard drives (not partitions) on my system. My new RAID-0 SSD has the Windows 7 install on it while my old WD Raptor has my vista boot on it. I have been trying to find a way to remove the old Vista drive as I want to reformat it and turn it into a developers drive (for my various PHP projects). Is there any way to remove this drive so it doesn't effect the Windows 7 drive? I tried removing the drive and rebooting but it fails to boot. I can't reformat it regularly as Windows tells me it is a System Partition. I believe that since my system relies on the Vista disk to boot that this causes an issue right? Well how do I fix this issue if you don't mind me asking?
