    Hi everyone,

    When windows 8 is installed along without another windows, (7 in this case), there is this graphical bootloader instead of the text version.

    At first it is kool but when it actually need to reboot from the very start, bios, post etc, it is kinda annoying. If you boot into windows 8 it is just boot directly.

    Is there a way to disable the graphical boot loader and also to enable it back?

    Thanks

    Right click near left bottom corner of desktop, click run and type in msconfig (or run system configuration from admin tools). In Boot tab select 'no gui boot'.

    Edit: I'm sorry, this does not work for the OP's requirement
