Have read some of the posts on here.. but none seem to match exactly my situation. heh.
Had xp pro loaded.. all good, loaded win 7 all good, dual boot worked fine one hard drive, two partitions. When you booted off xp, it was C drive, when you booted off 7, it was C: drive.. if I'm not mistaken.. anyways.. 7 was bugging on me a bit *alot* (don't try to load a gazillion fonts that you randomly download off the web) so I put in the 7 disk when I was in 7 os, and reinstalled it inside the os. Had to put key in etc. Well, this fixed most of the bugs I had when In 7.. but my xp boot option is gone. (I do not recommend this, because it was a hit or miss since I don't really know the repair options of 7, unlike my good old XP) and the crappy one repair or reinstall of Vista.
Used EasyBCD, add remove entries.. I have Windows 7.... (recovered) as entry on drive C:, added XP PRO on Drive D:, (think that's how ur supposed to do it if you load xp after you have 7?) even though that's not how initially set it up. Was thinking it now thought that since I ran the setup in 7, that 7 was the original OS. Rebooted, clicked the XP PRO option.. says can't boot NTLDR not there.. booted back to 7.. and the NTLDR is there on the xp pro partition.
What do I do at this point? Boot off Xp disk, run second repair? or something else?
Help is always appreciated. Thanks.
(I knew there was a reason I joined these forums a week ago or so, just couldn't remember till I messed with it today heh):??
