hello, i am trying to have a dual boot system with vista and xp.
i had xp installed in D and then i installed vista on C.
now i didnt have any boot loader, i just had vista, so i used the latest eastbcd trying to add xp to the vista boot loader, but it said i didn't have some files (ntldr), so i download them from the link and put them in d:\
now i do have a boot manager but when i do select xp (after i added it with easybcd) it gives a messege like "NTDETECT faild".
what do i need to do to have xp to work?
Addendum:
another thing to add is that i don't know if there is a boot.ini file in d:\ (if there should be)
i dont see it on vista even when viewing hidden and system files.
