I installed a copy of windows 8 I bought on another disk in my machine - Didnt like the feel of it so i used windows disk managment and just formatted the disk back to how it was.

Now im getting this at startup

go to control panel > system and security > security

on left hand side choose advanced system settings

go to advanced tab

third settings down under start up and recovery. click settings

from drop down choose windows 7 as default boot OS.
