XP and Windows 7 will not show up with dual boot option?
OP Systems
Windows 7 64bit on Raid 0 with separate hard drives and of course controller
Windows XP SP3 32bit Raid 0 as well with separate hard drives and controller
GA-X58AUD3R motherboard
Process I did
1) I installed windows 7
2) I then installed Windows XP on other RAID, no problems
3) No dual boot (I tried using EasyBCD, by adding entry of xp with giving Reserved 7 partition a letter and writing to MBR etc.. to no avail) Thus deleted the entry.
I have to go into BIOS to manually switch Hard drives as first boot option, thus OP systems to start from
4) I wanted to get rid of the 100MB reserved partition, so I created a extra partition (D
in windows 7 from first install and then reinstalled Windows 7 deleting the 100MB partition, but it stayed (unallocated space) and I installed on the original partition I used last time
5) Windows 7 installed no problems, and it noticed XP hard drive which I named XPSP3, But NO DUAL BOOT option
6) I took screen shots
7) In XP, I tried BCD 2.0 Error “The boot configuration data store could not be opened. The system cannot find the file specified.”
8) XP does not recognize Win 7 drives but Win 7 can of XP’s. I did notice that the name Change I gave XP main drive in Win 7 à was in XP’s of XPSP3
