dualbootpro stopped working
my dualbootpro suddenly stopped giving me the choice of either XP or W7
boot info shows:
Entry 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: XP
BCD ID: {6614be75-ed78-11de-9120-b8065a3b2533}
Boot Drive: D:
System Bootloader: \ntldr
Entry 2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: W7
BCD ID: {default}
Boot Drive: F:
Windows Drive: F:
System Bootloader: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Windows Directory: \Windows
yet the boot.ini shows only
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINDOWS="XP" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
HOW DO I GET THE W7 STARTUP CHOICE TO RETURN??

Re: dualbootpro stopped working
jim,
The easy fix is to open DBP and click on Bootloader and then reinstall the system bootloader with Vista/7/2008. If that doesn't work then there may be some missing files but the problem isn't with DBP. It is actually with the bootloader. For some reason it reverted to using the legacy XP method instead of maintaining the new bcd method.
