Hi there,
I have followed this guide step by step http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Installing+XP+After+Vista
When i reboot it goes straight into XP, after opening EasyBCD I found that the XP entry had gone:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is one entry in the Vista Bootloader.
Bootloader Timeout: 30 seconds.
Default OS: Windows Vista (TM) Ultimate (recovered)
Entry #1
Name: Windows Vista (TM) Ultimate (recovered)
BCD ID: {default}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Windows Directory: \Windows
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have tried booting from the vista disc and repairing using this guide http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm
However, when i select the installation and hit next (screen just before the repair options come up) I get the following message:
"This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version of Windows you are trying to repair..."
I have tried bypassing this error by selecting the space below the windows installation and then entered the following commands in the command prompt:
"Bootrec.exe /fixMBR"
and
"Bootrec.exe /fixBoot"
When I rebooted XP still automatically starts up.
I'm now stumped as to what to do :??
If anybody has any ideas/solutions to my problem your help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers in advance!
Ross
