BobJoe2010 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I recently purchased a Dell inspiron 3543 laptop.It came with ubuntu as the Operating system.so i formatted the hardisk and installed windows 7 professional 64 bit version after purchasing.soon after installation of windows 7, im getting following message in screen while starting up windows then i searched in internet for a solution to get rid of this annoying message.it appears to be something to do with boot order if i understand correctly.Need your support to change the hard disk as first boot option.(To be frank my knowledge of handling Bios/boot option settings is poor.) some necessary images of "boot options menu" are attached herewith for you to instruct me on solving this issue thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gipsy Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 in legacy option hard drive should be first (second sreenshot). reinstall OS ,previously delete all partition & create new ones durin' installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Prefered order: 1- Boot normally from Hard drive 2- Boot from CD/DVD in case boot from hdd fails or when you want to reinstall windows (must be 1st in the list for every boot cd/dvd) 3- Boot from network (must be connected to a network) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
