I just upgraded to Build 5600 from 5536, but even before that I installed EasyBCD to get rid of the annoying "Earlier Operating System" in the boot menu and not being able to choose the default.
I first installed it in WinXPpro (first partition of three), then rebooted, Chose Vista (second partition), no problem. Everything is fine at this point.
Next I rebooted and tried to select the "WinXPpro" partition and got the error msg:
"Windows failed to start" with ways to fix my computer. Ending with:
File: \windows\system32\winload.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
The system will boot into Vista, so I did. Installed EasyBCD in Vista and ran it. Selected Manage Bootloader, then selected Uninstall the Vista Bootloader. Rebooted.
Now I have WinXP back but no boot menu and no way to get to Vista partition
So I re-run EasyBCD and select Install Vista Bootloader and now when I reboot, I can see and use Vista. To get back to XP I must repeat the process because I am back to the error msg when attempting to boot to XP
Attached is the screen shot of the EasyBCD window as seen from XP.(I guess I won't, 47k is too large)
So, I must be doing something wrong but what is it?
Thanks, Barry
