Hi,

One week ago On my comp. I had three partitions. Two of them were with Win7 ultimate (2010) and one with win XP.
Last week

EasyBCD will set it up for your, just tell it you want a Legacy version and what partition number it is in. So, Windows 7 is on the 347 G and 156 G and XP on the 99 G?

So, you should end up with 3 boot entries beside the Boot Manager, 2 for Windows 7 and 1 for Legacy.

Easeus may be a good utility, but most folks here are more familiar with the representation Of Windows 7 Disk Management.

There is some really good info about using EasyBCD and dual booting on the NeoSmart Technologies site.

Need more info. Pls put in a photo of Disc Management. Thanks.

& what do you mean by new versions of Windows7, 2010 & 2012??? & 2 versions of Win7? x86 & x64??

Did you have dual or triple boot? Do you want dual or triple now?

Did you install Windows7 on the drive that was holding XP?

Re: Help...

I answered you in the other forum, but it isn't really for discussions, just instruction. If you can, stay here unless an Admin changes it.
