Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - [SOLVED] [moved from vista]Boot manager occurs when powering up laptop

Hi,

I purchased a dell inspiron 1720 on 14/08 and almost each time i power up the laptop i get a beeping sound and then the boot manager screen appears and requests me to choose which OS i want to use... i only have vista installed, and so i click on vista and then it powers up normally, the beeping is worrying me!

I've had a look on a few forums but this came recommended so thought i would give it a whirl before taking the laptop back.

Is this a problem with the laoptop itself or is it something that can be fixed easily? I have gone to the Control Panel > System > Advanced System Properties in the left pane. Under Startup and Recovery, click settings and unchecked the "Time to display list of operating systems:" The problem still occurs at start up though.

Anyone got any suggestions on how to fix this before my ears start to bleed from the high pitched beeping? Much appreciated
