Hello all, I'm new here.
Dual boot of XP SP3 32bit and Win7 Ultimate 64x. No problems were had at all. Well, but not for long.
Few days ago I had to reinstall XP which replaced boot files with its own mbr. Nothing new. But when I installed EasyBCD I couldn't get Win7 to boot. I did what wiki said (Installing XP as a second OS, Newer versions of Windows), but for naught. No mbr, programme can't find any, only XP files. Even though Win7 entry is present the window pops up with the message:
ACCESS DENIED!
Unable to obtain exclusive access to [drive letter]\Windows\Boot\DVD\PCAT\BCD. If this is a removable disc, try ejecting and reinserting it and then try again.
Is there anything I can do with EasyBCD? Or should I repair-install or just reinstall Win7?
