Hi,
I had a dual boot install on a 500gb drive. I moved this to a 300gb drive using Acronis True Image. After backing up then restoring the partitions on the new drive I had to use the Vista recovery to get the bootloader working again (Vista on 1st partition, Xp on 2nd partition). I then used EasyBCD to get the dual boot working.
Now when I boot into WinXP, the boot process stalls when I get the blue screen and windows logo, just before the user logon part. I don't think there is much I can do about this to fix it but would like to hear suggestions if there are any.
I can't quite remember: is it possible to use the WinXP cd to repair and installation? Or is it either reinstall or recovery console (which won't help me I don't think). I'm also guessing that if I can and do use the CD for a repair that i'll have to go back and do the Vista repair again, then EasyBCD to add WinXP again.
any thoughts on this are appreciated
thanks!
