Hello this is my first post...first of all thank you for your hard work after much trail and error I finally have my system booting both windows 7 and xp...I installed windows 7 first then xp on a separate partition...went through the steps with Easy BCD and am dual booting no problems...except...I cant boot into safe mode with XP...looking at windows 7 in easy BCD under "Advanced Settings" I see the option to tell Windows seven to boot with safe mode. But when I bring up the Windows XP choice..that option is grayed out. I found some tutorials on how to edit the boot menu (boot.ini) in xp but I don't know what I am doing and don't want to bonk my system (again!)...anyway here is a copy of my boot ini file...I see no reference to safe mode here...what can I do?
[boot loader]
timeout=15
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows XP on E:\" /FASTDETECT
Thanks in advance...
