Hello and good day,
Yes, I am in this special forum to ask for help. I belong to the older generation and live in Germany. It is logical that my "English" is somewhat more difficult to understand, although Google helps me.
In normal case, I work with newer Alienware machines with Win 7, which are not suitable for older software. For this reason, I bought an Alienware machine M17-Pre-Dell in the States, which I changed to German layout.
This machine has two slots for hard drives. So far I have created the following operating systems:
1 piece Cruicial M300-750GB SSD with the delivery OS Vista Prof 64bit. This is activated and works perfectly. The device manager is adjusted.
1 piece Intel SSD with 64GB I have with activated Windows 7 Home Premium. This it operating system in 64bit (x86) also works in perfection, the device manager also has no problem.
As a third, I installed Windows XP Professional x86, which has caused many problems. In principle, I am so far satisfied, that is, my ancient software I have installed. (SH3 + SH4, RCT, and Autodesk Sketch 2.1)
Both operating systems are started by selecting the Windows boot manager, ie either Windows 7 or Windows XP.
How can I disconnect both operating systems? Without reinstallation!
Win 7 as drive C: on a SSD and Win XP with drive C: on a second SSD? Currently as drive E: named WinXPx86.
Today I copied drive E: with Win XP with Easeus to a new SSD. How can I make this drive bootable with EasyBCD?
After the start I have the following statement:
Winontaidows failed to start
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: Oxc0000098
Info: The Windows Boot Configuration Sata file does not contain a valid os entry.
Who can help?
