Windows 7 recovered Boot and bootscreen
When I installed Windows 7 Beta to my computer, it failed an upgrade; it bluescreened whenever loading. So I reinstalled Vista, and installed Windows 7 on a disk partition. It worked fine until I restarted my computer, when it lost the boot manager. I repaired both systems using the Windows 7 install disk, and now the boot manager show each system as 'recovered'. Since then, Windows 7 boots with the windows Vista bootscreen (animated brown bar) and I have lost the ability to recover from hibernation on windows 7. Can anyone tell me what's going on?!

Hiya I am having exactly the same problem, only mine just happened randomly when i turn my pc on the other day. I have two drives but my windows 7 says recovered and loads with Vista animated bar takes approx 5 to 10 mins to load and when it does my other drive isnt detected. I disconnect the drive that does work and boot from the one that doesnt, it loads fine?? Very Strange!!

well, i managed to fix it by unning system restore but i's happened again since then. What is a bit strange is that before this happened Windows 7 couldn't detect Vista's partition and vice versa, but now they have done since that happened.

Hibernation:Windows 7 is still Beta and should not be expected to work perfectly. The power managment functions are still buggy andthere have been a number ofthreads in the forums reporting on them.Disk Problems:It sounds to me as though you resolved on eproblem but stil have problems with Windows seeing other drives or partitions. Try opening Control Panel - Administration Tools - Computer Managment - Disk Managment (The path to the applet in Vista, however it does remain in Win7). The disk managment tool will allow you too see all the partitions on your hard drive(s). You will be able to see any without an assigned drive letter and assign a drive letter.What had happened when you set the two systems up to dual boot was that both partitions wanted to be C: however only one could be, So if you booted Vista, the Win7 partition would be hidden to avoid conflicts and vice versa. Assigning new letters in either systemwill only affect that system. For example my Win7 partition still boots as C: but I have it set to show up as H: in my Vista system.
