I'm dual booting two versions of Win'7 x64 that are on two different drives (one is hdd the other ssd). Both boot fine. I have another drive that's empty and I've created two partitions on it...a 60GB one for Xp64 that's Primary and Active, the other is just for data.
I install XP64 from the cd which I've already slipstreamed all the SATA/RAID drivers into and the installation goes well. I add two entries for each Win'7x64 version into EasyBCD and all three show up during bootup and work, except for XP. It just freezes after the bar moves across a 2nd time. This happens every time and the only way to fix it is to reinstall XP again. It's a vicious circle I'm stuck with.
Any ideas? I tried, after rebooting XP, booting into Win'7 and adding the XP entry there but the same thing happens. I also tried selecting the Install Vista/Win'7 bootloader to the MBR and writing the MBR but it makes no difference. If I try installing the XP bootloader to the MBR I get a big warning telling me that I need to be absolutely sure that I want to uninstall the Vista/Win'7 bootloader and that it'll now only boot into XP if the proper boot files are already there, which they are.
