dual boot W7 & XP
by tbs3344 » Thu May 13, 2010 3:24 pm
DualBootPRO works very well changing the boot file, but...
I installed XP. Then installed W7. I do not recall if it worked a few times or not, but very soon I got a ntldr message when launching XP. so I repaired XP. It worked as though it was the only OS. I used a W7 repair disk to repair boot.mgr. W7 is fine, but with XP, still getting ntldr.
Please help, tbs

By the way, I set up W7 on a separate partition as a custom install.

You need to make sure the following files are on the partiton that is marked system/boot in Disk Management screen.
ntldr, boot.ini and NTDETECT and that boot.ini is pointing correctly to Windows XP
