At times I used F8 at boot to choose an O/S...
Win 7 on drive 0
Win 8 on drive 1
You got whatever you chose. Or, if you simply rebooted, the DOS-
type POST screen offered a choice of either. If you did nothing the
default would boot automatically. There was never a DOUBLE boot.
After install on Win 8.1 - with Win 8 the default boot drive - 8.1
boots even when the W7 drive is selected on the F8 POST screen.
Then W8.1 presents its own boot menu, where W7 can be booted.
But first it must reboot a second time. Unnecessary effort.
Is there an safe way of getting the PC to get rid of the unwanted Win 8.1
boot menu - allowing the POST method to work as it did in the past?
Thanks
