I used to have an XP and Vista x64 dual boot with XP on the first partition and Vista on the second with the third being a data partition and it worked perfectly.
I installed Win7 RC1 x64 in the Vista partition and since then when I try and boot XP I get the error message regarding \ntldr not being found.
I tried running the Auto-Configure Boot.ini tool and that didn’t help.
Under Win7 the first physical partition which contains XP is not assigned a drive letter so I assigned it to Z and reran the Auto-Configure Boot.ini tool but it still didn’t help.
I’ve attached images showing the EasyBCD settings and the drive partitions and attributes.
Help greatly appreciated.
