I heard the Windows 7 boot screen i supposed to be different and I know it is because it shows up fine on my other PCs, but on my main PC, it dumbs it down to look like the vista one or whatever. someone please help me fix this.

Yeah, that happened to me. Seems to occur if you use the bootsect.exe recovery tool to fix partitions up. The /nt60 switch installs the Vista bootloader. They need to add a /nt61 switch.

Hi Steven Sounds like some of glitch or corruption during the install? I'm assuming that this was an upgrade installation. I'll pass this information along to the Windows 7 beta team. Ronnie Vernon MVP

no, i'm running a dual boot between Vista ultimate edition and Windows 7 Beta 1.and thanks for passing the information along, it means a lot to me.I did not use thebootsect.exe recovery tool to prepare the hard drive for running Windows 7 in a dual boot configuration. I used a Dos utility to split the Windows Vista partition in half. i just find it better to use the Doc utility that i have to manage hard drive partitions than the Windows partition managers or other 3rd party partition managers.

I saw this before when I corrupted the bootldr file and had to have Windows recover the partitions. Fixed it by doing the following to restore the boot graphics (which I LOVE)...While booted in Win7, download, install and run the free program EASYBCD from NeoSmart (run as administrator). Select magage bootloader (IMPORTANT! DO THIS IN WIN7 if you want the new boot graphics OR in Vista if you want the VISTA boot graphics). select reinstall the vista boot loader and click write MBR. this restores the backop that WIN7 keeps laying around. It worked for me! (AND it also lets you RENAME the boot stuff and set the options for each (like turning on PAE for my 4 Gigs to use))

Just did a system restore, and after restart, I got the old vista boot screen ...

yo LightningSystems, your tip for fixing the Windows 7 boot screen did not work. i think the issue is from something else. oh well...

but could that mess up the Windows Vista partition since i am running a dual boot?When i was beta testing Vista, running operations like that messed up the XP partition at times....i do not want to risk it. unless someone does it first. besides i'm running Windows 7 in a dual boot on a PC that runs in a productivity typeenvironment.good thing i did a full PC back up first....
