See the partition that is labeled as System.
You will have to assign a driver letter to that partition (DO NOT format it)
Once you have a drive letter assign to it then you will need to copy the ntldr, NTDETECT, boot.ini to the root of that drive letter.
Delete your entry for XP and then re enter it again.

Reboto and see what happens.

Computer could not start because of computer disk hardware configuration problem.

Look in the root of drive G and tell me if you see the file bootmgr.

Also post what your boot.ini looks like again.

Are you running both Sata drives? or a mix of IDE and Sata

Try changing the XP drive letter to C: within DualBootPRO. Then, goto the Bootloader page and reinstall the Vista/7 bootloader on All drives again. It may just need a little extra push. :yesnod:

Jason,

I tried as you suggested abut still no luck. Well, at this point, I don't want to put any more continuos effort; but I appreciate you folks trying to help me.

I have sent email requesting refund and I hope you folks understand. I will come back to you guys in the future when the whole technology involving windows 7, Legacy windows and DBP would have matured much better. At this point I would appreciate your help in taking care of my refund request.

Thanks Very Much

karunvs,

I just noticed that you stated XP was a restore from an image. This is the main problem. Bootloaders and things of that nature don't work well from images. The third party application doesn't always write to the first 512 bytes of the HDD. This causes a serious issue. Sorry that DBP wasn't what you needed but when it comes to images/restores it is really hit or miss. Some people don't have any problems and others run into several.
