I have a problem booting. I reformatted my hard drive and installed windows. The problem is not that Windows does not boot. The problem is that it does not boot without direct input from me.
Every time my computer boots it forces me into Windows Boot Manager... (See attached file:WBM Full) It's something I've seen before I'm no stranger to it... But usually I request to see it. That is not the case here. When I see it there is no time out.. I've waited upwards of 5 minutes before hitting enter. I MUST hit enter each and every time.
On top of that there is only one possible OS to boot into: Windows 7 (See attached file: WBM OS List). So theoretically I should not see this prompt at all. Also, this does not happen on my new laptop which has Windows 7 pro installed does not have this problem. Both copies of Windows 7 were installed with the same disk.
My first thought was msconfig. I scoured it to see if ANYTHING was odd. It looks completely normal. (See attached file: MSCONFIG)
Then I resorted to looking at bcdeit. Nothing looks odd there... Except one thing... The timeouts are different between MSCONFIG and bcdedit. One says 3 seconds, the other says 30. I was thinking a "gimp" way to fix the problem is to set the timout to 0. Can't do that on msconfig, and did it on bcdedit, it did not work... (I also tried 3 on both The min Value for MS CONFIG) So I changed it back.
Any help would be GREAT
