First off here is my system config:
Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.2
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1, 64 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 26 Stepping 4
Processor Count: 8
RAM: 12279 Mb
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 Series, 512 Mb
Hard Drives: C: Total - 114471 MB, Free - 54959 MB; D: Total - 953866 MB, Free - 356378 MB; Q: Total - 610477 MB, Free - 556879 MB; U: Total - 1907726 MB, Free - 1225253 MB;
Motherboard: Dell Inc., 0R849J
Antivirus: Microsoft Security Essentials, Updated and Enabled
I recently cloned my HDD to an SSD and the process went smoothly. I now have my OS on a SanDisk Extreme SSD and all my user files on an WD HDD. After a reboot, windows failed to load. I did a system repair and and fixed my MBR. It now boots like normal but every time on startup I get the Windows Boot Manager screen that says:
Press an operating system to start:
Windows 7 Ultimate (Recovered)
Windows 7 Ultimate (Recovered)
Now, just so you know, when I did the startup recovery on my SSD I also had the original HDD plugged in (that is the second "Windows 7 Ultimate (Recovered) that shows up). However, I have since wiped that second disk and it doesn't exist anymore, Yet, on startup I keep getting the option to select an operating system. There is only one OS and that's on my SSD. Why does it keep showing that second one that doesn't exist?
I already tried going through all the bios settings and everything seems correct. I have it setup to only boot from my SanDisk. I also took the CMOS battery out thinking it might retain some old info but that didn't solve anything. I mean I can always just choose my OS on startup and no harm no foul but it is pretty annoying that extra step every time. Sometimes I just want to hit the power switch and have it load without my intervention and not have it wait a full 30 seconds before deciding on its own.
