At Bloody Last...

So there you have it. I have to say it wasn't the easiest installation I've ever done. But I have now got a bootable version of Windows 7 Professional. It seems the installer can't cope with creating a bootable Windows 7 installation in a computer which already has a bootable installation of some other version of Windows on another disk. I'm guessing it was trying to update the Vista boot manager to point to both installations but obviously the Vista BM didn't like that much. In the end I had to disconnect the other hard drives and then the repair programme correctly diagnosed that boot manager wasn't present and repaired the disk but only after I repaired it a second time. No idea what it did the first time but obviously it wasn't repaired properly.
