Sorry for the late response. I have since discovered it is a problem with the ASrock 880G Pro3 MOBO. It simply will not boot UEFI Windows 7 from the SSD in the SATA 0 slot if the SSD with Bios Ubuntu is plugged into the MOBO. No idea why this is. No matter how I mess with the boot order, or...

Saltgrass- Are you asking me? If so, now it is AMD Phenom II Dual Core. Anyway, I bet the other guy is Intel. If you are asking me, I do not want to hijack his thread so maybe ask any other questions on my thread. AlphaA...
