I think that I have setup EasyBCD correctly and all of the required files are present for booting XP ok (boot.ini, NTDETECT and ntldr), but when I choose XP from the boot menu, the machine reboots and returns to the boot menu. If I choose Vista, it boots fine.
My boot.ini file is as follows:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=AlwaysOff
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer
I have looked through some other forum entries, but I am not sure whether mine is correct or not. This is the EasyBCD debug entry if it helps:
Are you able to point me in the right direction?
Many thanks:lol:
