Is it possible to boot Windows 7 from when you're harddrive's partition with two OSes?
- by Muhammad
I have a PC with a hard drive that's partition into home directories for Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
I primarily use Windows 7 and occasionally (once a week) use Ubuntu.
When I boot up my computer, I usually get taken to a boot menu that includes about 5 different options: 3 are for Ubuntu's configurations, one's for swap, and the forth is for Windows 7. Then after I select Windows 7 or Ubuntu from this menu, I get taken to another menu that again asks me for Windows 7 or Ubuntu. This time, there's only 2 options, Windows 7 and Ubuntu. [Side note: out of experience I realized most boot menus are timed and so are these.] So if I ever turn my computer on without actually sitting in front of it for a few minutes, it boots into Ubuntu.
I'm trying to figure out what I need to do so I can first get rid of the 2 boot menus. And if possible, I'm looking for help changing my boot options where I can load up Windows 7 (even with the boot menu wait of about 30 seconds).
My harddrive's partition's laid out like this:
Windows 7 (C partition)
Multimedia (D partition, I just use this for backup/non-OS stuff)
Ubuntu (home directory)
Swap
Is there any other information I need to provide?
