Hi,
This could be a long story, but I'll cut to the chase...
I have a dual boot Win 7 on C:. Win XP on D:, both first partitions on two separate drives.
I have Win 7 working fine, but there is an issue with XP.
According to the info I read here I have everything set up OK for the dual boot since I can boot into both OS, but the Win XP will not load completely, I get the LOGO and the bar running beneath it, then, after about 15 sec. I get a BSOD. I can get into XP fine in Safe Mode, but not "normally".
I decided to try a repair install of WIN XP, but when I boot the XP disk and get to where the repair install should be I get only options to do a full install and the Hard drive specs are all messed up, not enough space and the wrong designations.
I was wondering if I can restore the MBR, Bootgfg, and Boot.ini on the Win XP drive to allow a repair install and then rerun easybcd to set up the dual boot again? Is this the right course, or am I missing something?
Please feel free to ask for any further info you might need.
Thanks!
