I have 3 sata hard drives. Booting in to win7 on C; winxp on D and vista on E. I have no problem booting in to win7, but when I try to go in to xp using "ireboot", I get an error saying my config file is missing. When I try to login after a restart without going in to windows 7, I get the windows xp screen, but it never does get in to the login screen. The little lines just keep going across the screen. . I have tried everything. I did get in to safe mode and reset the admin password, but when I try to go in to the repair mode from the xp cd, it says I have an incorrect admin password. Please help if you can. Thanks.

Use EasyBCD 2.0 latest build.
Delete the XP entry, then add it again
When it offers to auto-configure XP, say "yes"
Don't change the XP drive. (that's why it's blanked out)
 
Need help please

I did what you suggested and EasyBcd did do the automatic installation of the xp drive. However, now when I select Ireboot, I get the following dump information:

I uninstalled and reinstalled ireboot, but get the same error.

Thank you for your patience.
 
Fixed some problems but still have an issue

Ok. I uninstalled easybcd 2.0 and ireboot 2.0 and went back to the older version. That fixed my issue of getting the xp drive to get recognized and I no longer get an error message. However, XP goes in sometimes but most times it just shows the little blocks going across the screen. I doubt it is hardware, as I can get in to win 7 and xp in safe mode every time. I know it isn't the hard drive as I can get in to safe mode with no problem. I know it isn't the video card, as I can get in to win7. I changed cables (both power and sata) with no change. Anyone have any ideas where else I could check?

Thanks
