There is way to do this you need to follow the following steps :
  1. Firstly go to the control panel.
  2. In that go to System in the Classic View of Control Panel.
  3. After opening the system go to the Advance Tab.
  4. Now go to Setting in System & Recovery option.
  5. Now go to Edit Button "To Edit the start up option manually."
  6. in that there will be three list written under this "[operating systems]"
  7. Just edit it Select the Windows 7 & paste in front of default.
  8. Then complete the process by pressing OK whenever asked

Sorry dear you need to do it in Windows 7. The above solution is given wrong it is only for the version below windows XP. You need to download a file called "BCD Edit" & then After downloading it Just run it in Windows 7 &it will solve your problem...! Hope this Solves your problem...!
