How do i change which monitor boot-up shows up on(Dual Monitors)?

i have a laptop. i use the screen, and i also have it hooked up to my tv. when i turn my laptop on, it automatically sticks the boot-up on the tv even if it's off. if there is anything wrong or a message pops up during boot-up, i wouldn't know until i turn my tv on 5 minutes later wondering what's going on. is there a way to change which screen boot up comes up on. i tried in Startup and Recovery under Advanced/System Properties, there is no option. i'm using Windows 7 btw, almost same as vista so vista suggestions should be good enough.How do i change which monitor boot-up shows up on(Dual Monitors)?
It has to be done in bios if it's possible at all, Windows will have no control over it.How do i change which monitor boot-up shows up on(Dual Monitors)?
It should show up on your primary monitor. If you go into your display options, you should be able to set one monitor up as ';1'; and the other up as ';2'; and/or dictate which should be the primary monitor. Look for one or both of those options and try switching them around and rebooting, one at a time.
