    Hi Everyone,

    I'm experiencing a problem dual booting with Windows 7. Previously I was sucessfully dual booting with Vista and XP. The Windows boot manager would (by default) prompt me to select an OS to boot upon startup. I still have an XP partition but with Windows 7, the boot manager never appears and Windows 7 boots automatically. Anyone know how to address this issue?
