Hi,
I'm running windows 7 x64 on an MSI P67A-GD53 motherboard.
I've just installed a second instance of windows 7 x64 on a separate disk (this is to keep my games separate from my work OS).
The problem is that it appears now that I cannot restart from either instance of Windows 7. The shut down command, and sleep commands work as expected. When I try to restart, the shutdown happens but the system never reboots. Everything remains powered on, until I hold down the power button to force the power off.
I'm sure this has only started since I installed the second OS, and am assuming this has something to do with the motherboard needing to know which OS to run up again?
Changing the boot order of the disks in the BIOS does not change anything.
Any suggestions greatfully recieved!
P.S - the case is an Antec P280 Super Midi Tower if that is relevant.
