Dual boot options??

I have Vista and 7 on two separate hard drives on the same computer.
When booting it shows 7 at the top of the list and i have to press the down arrow key to select Vista so as to be able to boot that drive.

How can i alter the boot priority so Vista boots as first choice so i don't have to stand over the pc whilst booting.

Thanks.

EDIT...... i found the answer on Google so it is now configured how i want it.

Why on earth would you want to keep Vista if you have 7? :/

Testing his hooky copy of 7 for a while? :eek:

Nothing hooky on my system. The reason i want Vista as my primary is that 90% of my stuff is on that drive and i am slowly adding to the other drive as it was a recent install.

you can use a software in 7 called easybcd you'll see it's pretty straightforward
you can select which Os comes first in the boot menu
here's the link
