VISTA Boot menu troubles

Postby Blond » Fri Apr 06, 2007 8:21 am

Hello !

With your program I have erased boot options for both OS
1 VISTA and 2 XP

I have erased XP before and now I only have Vista on my HDD but I have erased all BOOT options, this means, also the VISTA boot option.

After rebooting Boot menu appears only to choose
MEMORY TEST and nothing else.

How can I repair this so that VISTA boots automaticali without showing Boot menu ???

Hi Blond and welcome to PROnetworks. Try running "Startup Repair" by booting from the Vista DVD and then selecting "Repair your computer" at the bottom left of the "Install now" setup screen. That should sort out the boot menu.

It may be necessary to do that twice. If it doesn't come right the first time round, then setup is first copying boot files to the system drive and needs another run to configure them.

Did you check your BIOS to make sure boot from CD is turned on. I have a Vista upgrade disk that is bootable.
