For almost 3 years I have used EasyBCD to multi-boot my main work machine at home (Vista 64, Vista 32, XP Pro, and Ubuntu). I have never had any problems, until now that is. Now, for some unknown reason, the XP partition will no longer boot. When I select XP, the HD LED shows no hard disk activity at all. Unfortunately whatever went wrong did so before my earliest available image of the hard drive.
I would very much like to recover that XP system (no, I didn't make system-recovery diskettes—I always put faith in my Acronis images but obviously there are only as good as the earliest available image!). Any suggestions about where to start would be greatly welcomed!
I downloaded the most recent version of the EasyBCD, installed it, and repaired the boot files with it but that didn't make any difference either.
If I try a repair install of XP will it make it impossible for me to boot my other systems, particularly Vista 64 and Vista 32?
Thanks in advance.
