    I was trying to install Linux on a third partition (Vista on the first, se7en on the second and linux on the third) in my hard drive and when it finished i couldn't log into any windows partitions. I recovered them using the installation DVD for windows 7.

    now when i log into windows 7 it doesn't show the orbs/windows boot logo. it shows the microsoft corporation loading bar from windows vista. is there anyway i could bring it back? i loved having that cool animation before logging in my se7en!

    Did you try to 'repair' the W7 OS? Whenever I've done this I lose the boot screen. Not sure why but it happens. The only way I've found to get this back is to reinstall the whole OS.

    I believe this is what you're talking about. Sadly, it's a common problem.
