Hello all!
This is my first post here so stay with me.
My problem:I originally installed a fresh Windows 7 Build 7000. I found a couple programs incompatible with 7 ( namely Utorrent, Disk overloaded message, but I digress...) so I decided to try to duall boot XP on it as well. I partitioned a small amont of my HD to accomodate XP Pro(40 GB). I installed XP on said partition and everything booted up fine. But, when I went to restart and go back to windows 7 I had to choose which OS to start, and both options were for XP Pro. I tried fiddling around and could not get back to 7. I checked the HD in XP and all the info was still there, but I could not get 7 to boot. I got so frustrated that i just did another clean install of 7 and left the other partition empty.
My question is, did I do something wrong? Is there a way for me to dual-boot both and still go back to 7?
If anyone needs any other info i didnt post let me know.
