I'm using EasyBCD 1.7, and its been working just fine for a few months, with Vista of course. Just this morning, I was unable to boot into my XP partition, and while I can use my Vista partition, I'd much rather boot into XP. Some program brings up a message that says that Windows was unable to load, and do I want to do a Startup loading diagnostic, or just boot normally. Even if I select that diagnostic, nothing happens but a black screen, until I shut down, restart, and get to that same error message. This occurs before I get to the XP login screen, but AFTER I get to the BCD options screen. If I select my vista partition, everything is fine. This occurs regardless of which one is the default.
I did see an option in EasyBCD to have it do a diagnostic (check boot drive for corruption) but it was only for the Vista partition, and I'm obviously not having problems with that part. At any rate, I tried it but I got a message saying that that sector was already in use (or something to that effect), and if I wanted to have it run the next time Vista started. I did say yes, but then saw nothing the next time I booted up.
OK--I want to be able to boot into XP with EasyBCD. What do I need to do? Insert the XP OS disc, do fixmbr? But that wouldn't help with EasyBCD would it, since it is using Vista's bootloader?
