Hello,
My netbook began its life with an XP install.
I decided to dualboot with Windows 7.
This worked perefectly with EasyBCD installed in Windows 7.
The Windows 7 bootloader worked great and I could boot into XP or 7 without any issues.
I then installed Mac OS X - the latest Snow Leopard build as well.
All 3 OSes are on one physical drive.
After installing OS X, I can boot fine into Windows 7 and OS X without any issues.
However, XP now hangs on a logo screen after the OS X install.
After the Mac OS X install, I had to repair the Windows 7 bootloader, using the Windows 7 USB installer. I also copied the legacy bootloader files to the root of the Windows 7 partition.
Below is the info from EasyBCD.
Any suggestions on getting the XP to start up?
