Hi. I Have a problem starting up the newest windows after instalation of older windows with dual boot mode. I

installed XP 32bit from windows 7 onto another hard disk. Afterwards, It does't allow me to start Windows7. It

freezes at "Verifying DMI pool data". After reading some forums, I might have MBR, BCD or more files damaged. I

found some solutions but both systems are on the same hard drive. How am I suppose to fix Windows7 when its on a

different hard disk. If I start up XP, I can see hard disk where windows7 is but when I want to open it, it says

"D: is not formated". I would to need fix the files so I can boot Windows7 to save some of my stuff. If I need to I

can erase XP. Thank you for your time. Mark

Hey guys
I don't know why but i was think W7 RC don't have repair option on instalation DVD disk. I don't go over first screen which say "instaling windows" before. Now i find this option if i boot from W7 RC instaling DVD and then i use startup repair tool for repair HDD. Partition informations been corupted. I run self repair twice and finaly W7 startup.
Anyway guys thank you for concern to help me.

Hit F8 and get into the BIOS and move the second hard drive to the top of the list.

Truthfully, I don't know if you can do a"clean" install with XP. You have to choose the upgrade route.
