How am i supposed to code with theeeeeese ?
I installed a second hdd today, partitioned it and installed windows 7 to dual boot with vista until I can be bothered to move over completely.

Whenever I've done dual boots before windows has found the existing os's and setup the boot menu for me, this time it was just booting into either Vista or 7 depending on which drive was set to boot first in the bios, no menu, or recognition of the other os.

Where did I go wrong?

The pioneers would be appalled!

When I did my dual boot of Vista and Win 7 I started the installer from Vista.  It created the menu for me and worked fine.

I prefer it that way actually.
I have multiple drives and I never use boot menus because my ASUS motherboard has menu that lets you choose which drive you want to boot from when you press F8 before the OS starts up. It's allot easier than having to change the setting in the BIOS every time.

Yeah I long for the days where EFI is commonplace and we can install boot stuff into the firmware.
