Hello good buddies, I am running Windows 7 (RC1 for the time being - I understand it expires sometime in March of 2010) and love it. Easily the best Windows version yet.
However, for several reasons I would like to be able to boot into XP on occasion. I have created a D: partition the in the C: drive to 'house' the XP installation.
The way I figure it I will be able to boot with the XP installation disk in the drive and select the appropriate drive/partition on which to install XP.
But I suppose I will have to create a boot.ini file using, for example, EasyBCD 1.7.2 which will then give me the boot-screen where I select OS.
Or...does this happen by itself, so to speak. I.E. does Windows somehow sense the presence of multiple OS's upon boot and create the boot.ini automatically?
If not, what would the script/syntax look like if I have to create it?
I would greatly appreciate your input on this!
