Alright. I installed the windows 7 beta on a partition on my harddrive and was dualbooting it with my previous vista install. I eventually decided to get rid of vista completely. I reformated the vista drive and restarted my computer. The vista boot manager still comes up asking me whether I want to boot to vista or windows 7. How do i get rid of it?

Thanks

I try installing windows 7 i boot from the disc, and i start the setup. The first step of the setup says i dont have the correct CD/DVD Drivers. Is there anyway to skip this. I also have tried to load a driver on a Flash Drive, but then it wont let me locate the .exe, only folders. So i click on the folder the driver is found, and it says “no driver found. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. And i have already tried the disable unsigned drivers setting.

Right now I have vista. I am planning on downloading the windows 7 beta. What will happen when that beta expires??? I am expecting it to go right back to vista.

What happens? If it doesnt go back to vista, then what am I supposed to do. Vista came preinstalled on this computer, so I dont have the disk.
