Boot Problem

Hi. I just finished a fresh install of Vista 64bit. Install went smoothly,
but the system won't boot unless I disconnect a second 1.5TB which I
partitioned 100GB for Windows 7. I unplug the drive and Vista boots fine,
then if I plug the second drive in, Vista freezes. I noticed in the repair
window Windows 7 didn't show up so I booted to the 7 disk and repaired the
partition with Windows 7. Now when I use the Vista disk to boot to repair,
both OS's show up with 7 showing as (recovered), but Vista still won't boot
unless I disconnect the 7 drive. Please help. All my backups are on the
main partition of the second drive.

Thanks,
Mike

Got it fixed. Booted to Win 7 disk and deleted the partition.
