ok so i'm having some trouble setting up dualboot on my machine. i currently have two hard drives fitted, one running windows 7 ultimate and the other running xp professional sp3.
i have installed easybcd 2.0beta and added the other drive entry so that when i boot up my computer both OS's are listed. however when i select XP it immediately comes up with an error screen saying something about a file NTLDR and giving the error code 0xf000000f
i am able to boot both operating systems without problem by switching boot priority in the bios settings.
i am aware that the windows 7 bootloader has compatibility issues with xp but i thought that easybcd automatically solved that issue when reinstalling the bootloader after adding the new drive entry?
i have tried setting the xp drive as the primary and using easybcd to set the windows 7 drive as the new entry but when i try to run easybcd i get an error message saying something about not detecting vista. i have installed net framework 2.0 prior to installing easybcd so i'm not sure why it won't run??
any help or advice would be much appreciated!
thanks in advance
