Dual boot default OS option

[headsh0t]

On a computer is installed 2 OS'es, Vista x64 and Windows7 x64. The first one installed was Vista, so it is the default option when the computer boots up. Is there a way to change this and make Windows 7 the default option at the boot screen?

Go into BIOS and sellect first boot dvd drive, second boot Win7 drive, third boot vista drive

Should work as long as each OS is on a difernt drive lable( C:, F:)

here we go. go to the windows in the back, advance setting, at left , the small windows on front will open, the last setting at the bottom ( setting not variable ) , you will find the rest in the new windows that will open ( good I put a pic, becasue I can't even fallow my own instruction )

Type in Format disk into search box in windows 7 . ( create and format disk partions) shoud come up click on that. A grafhic of your drive should come up You should have partitons of where the OS of windows 7 And Vista on the drive. Click on the Windows 7 partion make sure it is the one you want with Win 7 in it. There will be a small partion on the drive that will be drivers and win & kerrnal leave it alone. Right click on the Win 7 drive.It should get slashes though it. put your mouse on the slashed drive and left click.

Chouse ( change Letter and path) switch letter on your two drives.

See if it boots to windows 7

( win 7 should have created its own partitions when it laded in on install )

Edit this is the hard way
