Have a system with xp and vista using easybcd to manage boot.
Created a new partition, formated, labelled f, installed win7. All went well.
New boot menu has 'old version of windows', 'vista', win7, and 'windows'. Vista and win7 boot ok, but I can't book xp! Which I really need.
All on one drive, C is the boot drive, D is logical, F is primary partition.
I checked the root of C (from vista boot) and I have ntld, ntdetect, and boot.ini, but if i double click on boot.ini, it says access denied, and opens up notepad with a blank file. There is a boot.bak from when I instaled easybcd a long time ago.
I am hoping someone can help. Thank you very much.
These are my setting from easybcd
