I have a Dell desktop with vista home .Some1 tried to reload the os off the Disc nd when you boot it up it boots to Boot Manager then you need to highlight microsoft windows vista and it boots up to the desktop..
So to fix the booting trouble i was told to do this..
I think this is simply a matter of the boot manager having a timeout when you don't need one. You don't even need EasyBCD to fix this. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> System (under System and Maintenance in the Home view). On the left side, select "Advanced System Settings", then find the "Startup and Recovery" section and choose the Settings button there. In System Startup, you should see the Default OS is Windows Vista and you probably have a check mark by "Time to display list of operating systems". Remove the checkmark which will set the time to 0, click OK, then OK. Now when you restart you should not see the boot manager screen.
Well i did that and now I get a black screen with a blinking cursor :sad:
I replaced the checkmark but that didnt help. I can boot with F12 and choose master hdd and it boots to the desktop.. please help
