Unable to boot to second hard drives OS Win 7

Postby acrafton » Sun Mar 21, 2010 7:17 am

I just installed Dualbootpro hoping to be able to boot into Vista Ultimate 32 bit or Windows 7 32 bit but am only able to boot into Vista Ultimate. Vista is installed on my C drive and Windows 7 on my second hard drive along with XP. When I use DualBootPro to try and load Windows 7 it states and error has occured and to insert the language disk and try rebooting. This also happens if I try to load XP with DualBootPro.

If I just plug in my second hard drive it boots into Windows 7 by default without a problem.

I uninstalled DualBootPro and reinstalled it but still can only boot into the OS on my C drive. Anything on my other hard drive gives me the error message above. My second hard drive is seen in windows explorer and I can access file on it but it would be nice to be able to load my old copy of Vista Ultimate and XP without having to unplug my primary hard drive.

Hope some one has a suggestion on how to make this work.

Thanks.
