Hi Everyone,

I am new to this forum however it seems like you guys do a great job! I have been searching around for a post describing my problem but I am unable to find a perfect fit to fix my problem.

I am trying to triple boot W7, WV, and WXP all from my same hard drive. However when I followed the standard procedure of adding a new entry to the boot loader, placing the NTDETECT and ntldr files into the root directory of my D drive, and rebooting.

When I do reboot I am able to view the new entry, however when I select it, a black screen is all that loads. Below is a copy of the detailed overview of my boot setup:
