Hi,
On my pc was XP only installed.
I heard that installing Vista on another partion could damage XP so what i did was this:
I disconnected the hardrive where XP was installed and connected another drive and installed
Vista on it.
Afterwards i reconected the "old" XP drive.
The drives are now set up like this:
C: Vista (Vista HD)
D: Shared 1 (vista HD)
G: Windows XP (XP HD)
H: Shared 2 (XP HD)
After the first boot when i connected the XP drive again Vista booted up, i installed
Easy BCD and add an entry for XP.
Properties:
Entry #1
Name: Microsoft windows Vista
BCD ID: {current}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader path:Windows\....
Windows dir: windows...
Entry #2
Name: Microsoft windows XP
BCD ID: {........}
Drive: G:\
Bootloader path: \NTLDR
Windows dir:
Now i am only able to choose for Vista, if i choose the option Windows XP the computer wil restart.
Searched this forum but no answer.
I have no boot.ini file
The file NTDLR is located in the I386 folder
The Bootcfg is located also in the I386 folder.
Can i write a boot ini file in a note pad and do i have to replace the NTLDR and the bootcfg to
the root folder?
Help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Steven
