Windows Dual Boot Internet Blunder - Solved TY :-)

Hiya
Right long story short is I need my PC to have dual OS with Windows 7 32bit (new) and Vista Ultimate 64bit (original)

I have installed theses OS's on seperate HDs, windows 7 on a 1TB samsung and vista was on a raptor drive 150G.

I can now boot into either OS I want during startup by changing my boot device priority, temporarily or permanently.

In windows 7 everything is fine, no promblems, but I cant connect to the internet in my vista OS, even if I remove the HD with windows 7 on it, I've tried a repair/restore from the disk, but it looks like it hasnt been backed up.

I'm using a ASUS P5N32-E SLI motherboard, don't know if that makes a dif.

Anyone got any ideas how I fix this?
If you need me to post any info please just ask and I will.

 

you would need to use the windows bootloader to give you a choice of which drive to boot.

try this: http://lifehacker.com/5403070/easybcd-makes-tweaking-your-windows-bootloader-a-snap

 

No, he does it same way as me - seperate drives.

OP - does the Vista Installation connect to the network but not the internet, or does it not connect to the network at all?

 

It connects to the network but cant connect to the internet

 

So you can connect to your network resources (router config page, for example).

I wonder if it would be worth re-running the network setup wizard. Give that a go.

 

Even if you put the two OSes on separate drives the Windows 7 bootloader will detect the older OSes and ask you which one to boot.

 

Tried running the network setup wizard, no joy, it says its connected to an...

"Unidentified Network"

sry about the noobishnes, I dont do this stuff often, and this time I was forced to.

Ty for the easyBCD program btw its making things much easier

 

OMG Im such a damn noob, my TCP IPv4 wasnt on obtain automatically, sry guys, my fault.
