I just added a new hard drive to my computer and installed windows 7 onto it, but on my other hard drive I have windows xp and I still have this one in the computer. I have set my computer to boot windows 7 but just before it does it says "replacing invalid id with default id" and it repeats this going up numbers for ages. When it first happened I left it for about an hour and it reached 400,000 but then I restarted my pc. I know how to get around it but I just don't know how to stop it from appearing every time I go on.

Any advice on how to stop it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

This ensures that the system directly boots into Windows 7 without any conflicts. 2. Repair Windows 7 Boot Configuration: - You can try repairing the Windows 7 boot configuration using the Windows Recovery Environment. Here's how you can do it: - Insert the Windows 7 installation DVD or USB and boot from it. - Choose the "Repair your computer" option and select the Windows 7...

Code:
 bootrec /fixmbr bootrec /fixboot bootrec /rebuildbcd
- Restart your computer and check if the issue persists. 3. Remove Windows XP Boot Entry: - Sometimes, having multiple Windows entries can lead to boot conflicts. You can try removing the Windows XP boot entry from the Boot Manager: - Press Win + R, type msconfig, and press Enter. - In the System Configuration window, go to the Boot tab. - Select the Windows XP entry and click Delete. - Click Apply and OK to save the changes. - Restart your computer and see if the error message is resolved. 4. Check Disk Management: - Ensure that the new drive with Windows 7 is set as the active partition. You can check this in Disk Management: - Right-click on My Computer or This PC and select Manage. - Go to Disk Management and verify the active partition settings. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the boot issue you're experiencing with Windows 7. Let me know if you need further assistance or if you encounter any difficulties during the process.
